New Seating Spots Appear in Brunnhartshausen and Steinberg at Wanders' Ruh
New Sustainable Rest Areas Enhance Rhön Biosphere Reserve
The picturesque villages of Brunnhartshausen and Steinberg in Germany's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön have received a boost with the installation of three new covered seating areas, as part of the "Wander's Ruh" project.
The municipal building yard of Dermbach supported the professional installation of these new attractions, which offer a wonderful view into the 'Land of Open Distances' and invite visitors to linger and observe local flora and fauna.
The rest area in Brunnhartshausen is located directly on the "Rhön Round Hiking Trail 1 Zella," making it an ideal spot for hikers to decelerate and appreciate the species-rich landscape of the biosphere reserve.
In Steinberg, the highest elevated village in the Wartburg district, a new seating area has been established, boasting a spectacular view. An information board facilitates orientation and promotes environmentally friendly visitor guidance at this new rest area.
Notably, the basalt stones for the foundation in Steinberg came directly from the village, and the seating areas themselves were supplied by Herrmann Massivholzhaus GmbH. Special thanks go to Thomas Schmidt and the many diligent helpers from Herrmann Massivholzhaus for painting and assembling the benches.
The rest area in Brunnhartshausen also features a covered seating area with an interactive information board on "Beetles and Bugs" at the "Generations Place."
The "Wander's Ruh" project, which was completed in collaboration between the municipality of Dermbach and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön, received funding from the Thuringian Ministry for Environment, Energy, Nature Conservation and Forestry, to the tune of 11,543 euros.
Ulrike Schade, head of the Thuringian administrative office of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön, emphasizes the added value of this community action. The project aligns with the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve's mission to promote sustainable development by balancing local community needs with biodiversity conservation, fostering ecosystem health, resilient economies, and sustainable agriculture and tourism.
For those seeking detailed information on these particular projects or the current status of sustainable development efforts in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve, consulting official local sources or the managing authority of the Rhön Biosphere Reserve may provide the latest updates beyond what is available in general search results.
