The A7 motorway grazes the Rhön to the west and the A71 in the extreme east. A network of federal highways (Bundesstraßen) runs through the heart of the Rhön. There were once several branch lines in the Rhön; only the Fulda–Gersfeld railway is still working as a normal railway, whilst the Mellrichstadt–Fladungen railway is operated as a heritage line.
The following bus and rail services serve the Rhön:
- Meininger Busbetrieb (Thuringia)
