Summer activities

The Wasserkuppe offers a wide range of sports and leisure activities.

The Rhön UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is considered one of the most beautiful hiking regions in Germany. The Wasserkuppe, at almost 1000 meters high, has been internationally known and popular as the "mountain of aviators" since the beginning of aviation more than 100 years ago.

Gliders and powered aircraft take off from Germany's highest airfield on the Wasserkuppe. Hang gliders, paragliders, and model aircraft pilots use the traditional flying and training slopes.

Summer in the High Rhön

But it's not just hikers and paragliders who are drawn to the mountain: a trip to the Wasserkuppe is worthwhile for the whole family! Highlights of the Wasserkuppe include the summer toboggan runs, the Rhön-Bob, and other attractions at the Märchenwiese (Fairytale Meadow). Those who prefer a more active experience can explore the diverse low mountain landscape in the "Land of Open Vistas" on an e-bike tour . Lake Guckaisee at the foot of the Wasserkuppe offers a refreshing dip in the summer.

Here we present the summer leisure activities available on the Wasserkuppe.

Have fun planning your vacation!
