Sights
Several kinds of museums of local history present
the history of the Rhön concerning the way of life, customs and
the daily work of former generations (e. g. museum of local history
Dermbach, museum village Fladungen, museum-train). Otherwise, there
are many museums, which document natural aspects in a descriptive
way (nature trail of birds, nature trail of geology, museum of local
history and the like).
In the Rhön there are also cultural and natural monuments to
discover like old castles and cities. Natural monuments are - e. g.
the Rotes Moor (red bog) and the Schwarzes Moor (black bog), lakes
- e. g. the Silbersee and the Schönsee, block areas (basalt)
and quarries - e. g. the Schafstein and the Steinerne Haus.
The sports- and leisure-sector offers extensive opportunities, like
hiking, biking, watersports many winter activities, e. g. cross-country
skiing, downhill and snowboarding and last but not least soaring at
the Wasserkuppe.
