High Rhön Road

The High Rhön Road was opened to traffic by the then Bavarian State Secretary for the Interior Ministry, Alfons Goppel, on 19 October 1958 in a ceremony in Fladungen.

The zero point lies in Bischofsheim in the upper Brend valley at the crossroads with the St 2088 at a height of about 440 metres above sea level (NN).

A central crossing point in the High Rhön is at the Schornhecke, on the northern slopes of the Heidelstein, at kilometre 10.

On this section it is joined from the east by roads from the Thuringian Hut (Thüringer Hütte), from Roth, Hillenberg and Hausen.

At kilometre 25 and roughly 410 metres above sea level, the High Rhön Road ends at its junction with the B 285.
