April 18, 2026, Dolmarhaus und Flugschule 'Quax'

A beautiful hike from Kühndorf (visit the Johaniter church fortress!) via the Flugschule Quax with ultralight aircraft (also catered and scenic flights possible) to the Dolmarhaus with good gastronomy. Great view of Grabfeld, Rhön and Werratal from above. Annual 'Dolkosh' meeting at the Flugschule with dozens of aircraft!

The armholes are definitely worth a visit. Best in spring when they're filled.
