Bottom photo: The Rhön Valley, where Camp Wildflecken is located, is a local hiking favorite with trails for both walking and biking going in all directions. One of the favorite hiking destinations for many of the GI's stationed at WTA was the Kloster Kreuzberg, a Franciscan monastery situated just under the summit of the Kreuzberg mountain.
