Hochrhönstraße
St 2288Bischofsheim in der Rhön to Fladungen
Open high-plateau panorama road across the Lange Rhön from Bischofsheim to Fladungen.
The Hochrhönstraße crosses the treeless Lange Rhön plateau for about 25 km between Bischofsheim and Fladungen, topping out around 840 m with no houses lining the road and wide views over the Grabfeld. It is a flowing panoramic road of gentle rises and sweeping bends through a protected biosphere reserve rather than a technical pass. It is a favourite Rhön motorbike run in fair weather. Mind exposed crosswinds on the open plateau, drifting snow that closes the road in winter, and slow-moving sightseers and cyclists.
