Rother Kuppe

Rother Kuppe rises to an elevation of 710.6 meters, featuring a mixed beech forest on its northeast flank and meadows on its southwestern side.

The formation of Rother Kuppe occurred through volcanic processes millions of years ago, resulting in the distinctive basalt plate structure present today.

The mountain stands within the Bavarian Rhön Nature Park and Biosphere Reserve, where local communities maintain traditional agricultural practices in the surrounding meadows.

Visitors can reach the summit through multiple marked trails, and at the top, they will find an observation tower with a restaurant.

A notable ancient beech tree on the southwestern meadow measures 7.8 meters in circumference, marking it as one of the largest trees in the region.
