The Hochrhönring (also Hochrhön-Ring) is a 42-kilometre-long holiday route in the Hessian Rhön in Germany.[1]

The route, which opened in 1970, runs in a circle roughly east of Gersfeld past the Feldberg (815 m), the Wasserkuppe (950 m), Abtsroda, Dietges, the Milseburg (835 m), Kleinsassen, Wolferts, Poppenhausen and Gackenhof and back to Gersfeld.[2]

The route is signposted with signs that display the black lettering Hochrhönring on a white background, usually with a thistle on a dark green background (which is often rather faded).

The route is popular with motorcyclists and is sometimes nicknamed "the Route 66 of the Rhön".[3]
