The Guckaisee lies in the valley between Eube, Pferdskopf and Wasserkuppe. So you can plan it for every hike in the area. The lake is divided in two. On the one hand, the lake invites you to swim with a diving platform and sunbathing area. On the other side is fishing. A beautiful spot between the mountains.

Wasserkuppe with radome

Highlight • Monument

At 950 meters, the Wasserkuppe is the highest mountain in Hesse and the symbol of the Rhön Mountains. Up here, you can feel the freedom, as the Wasserkuppe is considered the cradle of gliding – pilots have been taking to the skies here for over 100 years.

But it's not just aviators who enjoy it: In summer, you can hike or cycle across vast plateaus with magnificent views, while in winter, ski lifts, cross-country ski trails, and toboggan runs beckon. Around the summit, you'll find the Aviation Memorial, the Gliding Museum, and numerous places to stop for refreshments.

The Wasserkuppe is located in the heart of the Hessian Rhön Nature Park, which, with its open highlands, beech forests, and species-rich meadows, is a paradise for nature lovers. Here, you can explore the unique landscape on premium hiking trails like the Hochrhöner or on nature trails. The nature park also boasts star parks, rare animals like the red kite and the wildcat, and botanical treasures like gentian and orchids.

Radome on the Wasserkuppe

Highlight • Summit

Instead of a summit cross, there is a summit stone, almost inconspicuous next to the towering radome and significant landmark of the Wasserkuppe.

If the weather is right, the view from up here is simply fantastic.

Gliding Airfield Wasserkuppe

Highlight • Summit

The airport on the Wasserkuppe is located at the place where gliding was - as they say - "invented". As early as 1911, gliding pioneers started their first flight tests with gliders on the treeless Wasserkuppe in the Hessian Rhön. Over time, the site became a busy airport for gliders and smaller powered aircraft.
