geography
location
The Rößberg rises in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve and in the Hessian Rhön Nature Park in the urban area of Hünfeld . Its peak is 2.5 km east-northeast from the center of the main town, 900 meters south of the district Großenbach and 1.3 km north of the district Molzbach and 3.7 km west of the Nüsttaler community part Haselstein . To the south the landscape slopes down to the Molzbach , which rises near the mountains and flows into the Haune tributary Nüst , and to the northwest to the Haune tributary Hasel .

The Rößberg belongs in the natural spatial main unit group Osthessisches Bergland (No. 35) and in the main unit Vorder- und Kuppenrhön (353) to the sub-unit Milseburger Kuppenrhön (353.21). The landscape drops to the west into the Huenfeld basin (355.311), a part of the Haunetal natural area (355.31), which is part of the main unit of the Fulda-Haune-Tafelland (355) and belongs to the Haune plateau sub-unit (355.3).
Landscape protection area
Parts of the nature reserve Weinberg bei Hünfeld ( CDDA no. 319302; designated 2000; 81.97 hectares ), the fauna-flora-habitat- area Vorderrhön (FFH-Nr. 5325-305; 36.904 km² ) extend to the summit region of the Rößberg ) and the bird sanctuary Hessische Rhön (VSG No. 5425-401; 360.8013 km²). Parts of the Hessische Rhön landscape protection area extend up to its southern slope (CDDA no. 378477; 1967; 410.1096 km²).
Summit region
The current summit region of the Rößberg was created from 2013 to 2014 through an artificial earthfill. Unpolluted earth was only allowed to be poured there due to the establishment of the Via Regia lookout point , and the landfill fees that the city received for the earthfill have more than refinanced the lookout structure.
A former quarry extends up to the summit region .
Via Regia viewpoint
The Via Regia lookout point , which was inaugurated on March 16, 2014, is located on the Rößberg . Its 7.5 m high observation tower is a metal and reinforced concrete structure on which a 3.5 m high cross stands. Its name refers to the former trade route Via Regia , which originally ran from Frankfurt am Main through the Huenfeld region to Breslau . From the 25 m² viewing platform, the view falls, among other things, to parts of the Hochrhön with the Dammersfeldkuppe in the south-southeast, to the Hessian bowling game in the northeast and to the region between Fulda , Hünfeld and Rasdorf , through which a section of the Via Regia once ran.
Traffic and walking
The district road 121 runs southwest and south past the Rößberg from Hünfeld through Molzbach to Mackenzell and the K 122 north-west in the Hasel valley between Hünfeld and Großenbach . Between the summit region and Molzbach, the European long-distance hiking trail E6 runs in its section Haselstein – Hünstel .
