Poppenhausen

Poppenhausen is best known within Hesse for lying at the foot of the Wasserkuppe, the state’s highest mountain. The community sits in the Rhön, a rounded upland range whose open slopes and wooded folds extend across Hesse, Bavaria and Thuringia. At 950 metres, the Wasserkuppe is a major centre of German gliding; the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum mit Modellflug on the summit documents the sport and its aircraft. Poppenhausen is a practical base for walking and cycling in the Hessian Rhön, while the mountain draws day visitors in every season.
