A fabulous region

Since 1991 the Rhön has been a designated biosphere reserve. The federal states Bavaria, Hesse and Thuringia have been working together to protect the region and conserve all the different life forms that reside there. There are many things on offer for both young and old to experience ranging from the various animals and plant species, to the many castles, museums and leisure activities. The middle mountain ranges attract many hikers to the Kreuzberg, the Wasserkuppe and the Hochrhöner which won the award in 2010 for being Germany’s most beautiful hiking trail.

You can enjoy the Rhön whilst hiking or doing other outdoor-activities.

The Rhön is recognized as a "sustainable travel destination"

As a sustainable partner company, we are proud to be part of this special award!

Sustainable vacations in the Rhön - experience the Rhön consciously!

Let your gaze wander into the distance, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. A sustainable vacation in the Rhön means being aware: Many offers have been based on the idea of sustainability for many years. The Rhön has been a UNESCO biosphere reserve for over 30 years. During this time, we have learned how important it is to use our natural resources responsibly. With this recognition, numerous valuable natural areas have been placed under protection. We appreciate the unique natural and cultural landscape in the Rhön and want to preserve it for the future.

Berlin/Rhön The Rhön has been officially recognized as a "Sustainable Destination" and thus bears the award recognized in German tourism by the certification company TourCert. The certificate was awarded at the international travel and tourism trade fair ITB Berlin, where Yvonne Heider, Managing Director of TMH (Tourismus Management Hessen UG), together with Helena Jetses, Sustainability Officer of TMH, presented the award on March 5, 2024.
