Tour
Arrive to the small city Gersfeld in the midst of the Röhn. Parking sites and rental bikes are available at the hotel.
In the morning, a short Transfer (10 km), will bring you and your bikes up to a height of 950m. You will follow the Fulda downwards on well constructed bike lanes through the wonderful nature of Röhn. In Fulda you should take your time to visit the famous baroque district.
Today you will dive into the densely wooded Vogelsberg. The romantic castle town Schlitz will enthuse you, before you reach the festival town Bad Hersfeld (tickets available on request in pre-sale).
One of the most beautiful sections of the Fulda bike lane awaits you today! The romantic half-timbered Old Town of Rotenburg is situated within the most narrow part of the valley channelling the Fulda. Melsungen offers lovingly restored half-timbered houses.
Start your day by cycling to Kassel through the floodplain of the Fulda and reach Hann. Münden - one of the 7th most beautiful situated cities in the world (Alexander von Humbold). Idyllically situated on the confluence of Werra and Fulda, the Old Town still impresses all its visitors - with half-timbered houses up to six hundred years old.
After breakfast in the hotel your journey along the Fulda ends. For all of you, who still want to cycle further, we recommend to prolong your cycling holiday along the Weser. For everyone else, we offer our handy return transfer service back to the starting hotel in Gersfeld (always Fridays, departure approx. 9.00 am, bookable from 2 persons).

Condition of cycle paths
On this altogether hilly tour you cycle on the one hand on the Rhine cycle path and the Nahe cycle path, otherwise often in the middle of the vineyards partly on separate cycle paths, partly also on the typical small asphalt roads and farm roads, which are only for the Winzerfahrzeuge (and cyclists) released are. In the vineyards are two short bumpy sliding distances as well as individual non-asphalted passages. It is not always the comfort of a flat, paved bike path given, but then you are really in the middle of the vine on the way, usually paired with beautiful views!
