The Wasserkuppe: In the centre of Germany
The Rhön, with the Wasserkuppe as its highest point at almost 1000 metres, lies in the middle of Germany.
This low mountain range stretches across parts of eastern Hesse, northern Bavaria and western Thuringia.
Thanks to this central location, you can reach us quickly and easily by car:
- From the north or south via the A7 motorway, take the Fulda Nord or Fulda Süd exit, follow the signs to Poppenhausen (Wasserkuppe) and then to the Wasserkuppe.
- Coming from the west, take the A66 to the Fulda motorway junction. Always follow the signs to Poppenhausen (Wasserkuppe), from there to the Wasserkuppe.
- From the east, take the A4 motorway to Erfurt and then the A71 to Mellrichstadt. From there you can reach the Wasserkuppe via Ostheim - Oberelsbach - Bischofsheim a.d. Rhön and Gersfeld.
You will find free customer parking spaces and some camper van parking spaces directly at the flight centre on the Wasserkuppe.
In the Rhön, test flying is possible in any wind direction!
