July 4, 2026, View of Arnsberg

The Arnsberg is located northwest of the Kreuzberg in the Bavarian Rhön. It is a striking and widely visible mountain, 842 m high, which belongs to the natural area of the Hohe Rhön. To the northwest, there is a steep slope that is sparsely vegetated. The last stretch to the summit forms a small, steep knoll. At the top, you will find a pile of piled-up basalt boulders and one of the most beautiful viewing benches in the Rhön with a magnificent view of the Kreuzberg and the Himmeldunk. On the calcareous grasslands of the Arnsberg, numerous protected silver thistles can be found in autumn. The steep slope is popular with paragliders and model aircraft flyers.

The Arnsberg is a mountain in the Rhön region, 843 m above sea level, on the watershed between the Sinn and Brend rivers. It rises three kilometers west of Bischofsheim in the Rhön and four kilometers northeast of Wildflecken. The Arnsberg is only partially forested and therefore offers good views of the higher mountains in its surroundings: the Himmeldunkberg (888 m) to the north, the Heidelstein (926 m) to the northeast, the Kreuzberg (928 m) to the south, and the Dammersfeldkuppe (928 m) to the west. Furthermore, the Arnsberg offers views far to the east into the Grabfeld region and to the southwest. Source: Wikipedia
