The Rhoen (pronounced "rurn") is a hilly area located in the geographic middle of Germany. The Germans, themselves, tend to think of them as mountains, because the highest peaks are almost 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) in elevation. But since you do not need a helicopter or mountain climbing gear to get to the summits, they can be considered hills.
The Rhoen is an area that is shared by three German states. The Anterior Rhoen is in Thuringia; the Hilltop Rhoen is in Hessen; and the High Rhoen is in Bavaria. The picture shows a map of the area.
