Hohe Hölle

Hohe Hölle is a mountain summit located on the border between Bavaria and Hesse, rising to 894 meters within the Rhön range. The mountain features steep slopes and sits within this central German highland region.

Since the establishment of state borders in the 19th century, this mountain has marked the natural boundary line between Bavaria and Hesse. Its role as a border landmark has defined its historical importance.

Local hiking groups from both sides gather regularly to celebrate the mountain's border location through traditional festivals and shared events. These gatherings bring together communities from Bavaria and Hesse across the state line.

The summit is accessible via marked trails from both the Bavarian and Hessian sides, with parking available at the base. The routes are well-marked and vary in difficulty.

The mountain contains volcanic rocks formed during prehistoric volcanic activity in the region, which shaped its current form. This geological composition makes it interesting for visitors interested in natural history.
