The Rhön's landscape certainly seemed almost unreal to me after not having visited it for so many years. It looks very different from the place I'm living in. There are mountains, meadows, steppe--and trees that are much older than what you will find in the intensively managed woods of my area. The soil there isn't good for raising crops, so they are raising sheep and cattle. The Rhön is a biosphere reserve and has an extensive amount of swamp land called Red Moor and Black Moor. It is a low mountain region that comprises parts of Franconia, Hesse and Thuringia.
My warmest thank you for your visit, fave and (if you have time) comment.

Rhön sheep are a special breed of the Rhön. Their faces are black and their wool rather yellowish. What makes them different from similar sheep in the UK and elsewhere? The legs of a Rhön sheep are white while other black-faced sheep have either black or black and white legs. That is why the Cartoon Rhönhilde has law suits going on. Rhönhilde is pictured as a sheep with black legs, which angers the shepherds of the Rhön.
The wool of the Rhön sheep is no good for making wool.
