Restoration in progress: Rhön GmbH contributes to Kissinger Blast Furnace
Headline: Rhoen GmbH and Rhoen Club Donate to Rebuild Kissingen Hut Following Devastating Fire
The annual BR hiking tours 2025 attracted hundreds of hiking enthusiasts over several days, but the event's conclusion was far from ordinary. Originally planned to end at the Kissingen Hut, a popular meeting place for hikers and nature lovers, a devastating fire put an end to this plan.
The Kissingen Hut, a piece of home and tradition for the region, was almost completely destroyed by the fire in March. However, the community and those involved in the hiking tours rallied together to support the rebuilding efforts.
Revenues generated during the BR hiking tours 2025 were collected and donated towards the rebuilding of the Kissingen Hut. Johannes Metz, Managing Director of Rhoen GmbH, stated that preserving places like the Kissingen Hut in the Rhoen is a great concern for them. Supporting regional tourism and collaborating with committed partners like Rhoen Club Bad Kissingen is an important part of Rhoen GmbH's work.
In a show of solidarity, Rhoen GmbH donated 1,000 euros to Rhoen Club Bad Kissingen. The donation check was officially handed over on-site by Johannes Metz, Gudrun Hammelmann (hiking guide), and Karl Pfannes (2nd Chairman) from Rhoen Club Bad Kissingen.
The alternative endpoint for the BR hiking tours 2025 was the Haus der Schwarzen Berge in Oberbach. While the Kissingen Hut undergoes rebuilding, it is expected to be completed by 2026.
