Bavarian Rhön Nature Park

The Bavarian Rhön Nature Park (Naturpark Bayerische Rhön) straddles the junction of the German states of Bavaria, Hesse and Thuringia. 70 km² of the total 125 km² area of the nature park has been recognised by UNESCO as part of the Rhön Biosphere Reserve.
The organisation for the promotion of the Bavarian Rhön Nature Park (Zweckverband Naturpark Bayerische Rhön) was founded in 1967. On 26 November 1982 the regulation for the Naturpark Bayerische Rhön was issued and, in 1997, the Zweckverband became the Society for the Bavarian Rhön Nature Park and Biosphere Reserve (Naturpark und Biosphärenreservat Bayer. Rhön e.V.).

gollark: For me, mint tastes horrible and feels burning-y (yes, I am bad at describing things). I don't understand why people like it so much.
gollark: ... seriously why.
gollark: Please stop.
gollark: I care about battery more, myself. My phone has 2GB of RAM and some low-end octacore SoC, and that's basically enough for web browsing, SMSing, Discord, and occasional random other stuff.
