Arnsberg, Mountain summit in Bavarian Rhön Mountains, Germany.
The Arnsberg is an 843 m high mountain in the Rhön, rising three kilometres west of Bischofsheim in der Rhön and four kilometres northeast of Wildflecken. It is only partly wooded, so its summit opens views of the Himmeldunkberg, Heidelstein, Kreuzberg and Dammersfeldkuppe.
The sources record no historical events, dates or figures for the Arnsberg; its documented use is as a winter sports area on the north side, served by two ski lifts, while in summer the steep slopes are used by paragliders, model aircraft flyers and as sheep pasture.
The Arnsberg lies on the watershed between the Sinn and Brend rivers. In summer, its steep northern slopes serve as sheep pasture and are used by paragliders and model-aircraft flyers, while in winter two ski lifts operate there.
The shortest route starts at the junction of the NES 25 district road off the NES 10, climbing steeply from the southeast to the summit in about 30 minutes. The north side has two ski lifts and is used in summer by paragliders, model flyers and grazing sheep.
The Arnsberg lies on the watershed between the Sinn and Brend rivers, and its partly open summit allows views far east into the Grabfeld and to the southwest, beyond the nearer peaks.
