Hiking

Absolute hiking highlight and highly recommended. As tempting as it is, bathing is prohibited here to protect nature and animals in the Black Mountains Nature Reserve. Thank you for sticking to it and contributing to the protection of nature. - Rhön biosphere reserve

Beautiful, small, idyllic lake. It's worth taking a break here and enjoying nature. Also here the prices for drinks are a lot cheaper compared to the big houses / huts.

Hiking

Until the 1930s, the "Stone House" was a large, stony basaltic sea. The basalt columns towered up to 12 m. They were witnesses of the Rhön volcanism 30 to 10 million years ago. The deepest part of the crater left by basalt mining later filled up with water and the current lake was created. Today, the basalt lake with the "Stone House" is a popular destination. There is a car park, a kiosk and a barbecue station.
