Weiherberg

Weiherberg is a mountain reaching approximately 786 meters in elevation within the Rhön range near Fulda. Its summit offers views across surrounding valleys and neighboring peaks in the region.

The mountain served as a boundary marker between settlements in the Wasserkuppenrhön region during medieval times. Its central location made it an important landmark for the communities in the area.

The Enzianhütte mountain shelter is run by the local Alpine Club section and serves as a gathering point for hikers on the mountain. The shelter reflects how communities maintain outdoor traditions and support visitors exploring the region.

Several marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points, offering various difficulty levels and route lengths. The long-distance paths E3 and E6 pass near the mountain and connect it to a broader hiking network.

The northern slope is used as a launching area by glider pilots who take advantage of natural thermal conditions rising from the valley. This creates an unusual blend of outdoor recreation where visitors might observe aircraft activity alongside hiking.
