The Bergwacht (BW) Bischofsheim, formerly Bergwacht Bad Neustadt, was established on 29.06.1969 as the first BW unit in the Rhön. The primary area of operation is located in the municipality of Bischofsheim a.d. Rhön with the area around Kreuzberg, Arnsberg and the Salzpforten up to Bad Neustadt, as well as parts of the Hochrhön. As part of the preventive service in winter, we look after the ski area on Kreuzberg and the cross-country ski trails there, and in summer you will often find us during the preventive service at the Kreuzbergschanzen in Haselbach. Our main areas of operation are primarily injured outdoor sports enthusiasts such as skiers, snowboarders, paragliders, mountain bikers, hikers, but also injured forestry workers and the search for missing persons. We carry out nature conservation services in the "Langen Rhön". The main focus is the annual mowing of lupins.

Musical water choreographies take place there daily, and after dark, projector shows are projected onto a screen made of water droplets.
