September 15, 2023,Dorfgasthaus - Rundtour Kuppenrhön von Fulda durch das „Land der offenen Fernen“

Today a round trip through the Rhön, the land of open distances. In the early morning, wafts of fog could still be seen over the dew-covered meadows. From around 10 a.m. the sun came through and the view of the landscape was unhindered. It immediately became significantly warmer and a comfortable temperature was established.
We went towards Wasserkuppe via the …

Beautiful bike tour with great views. The steady climb on the Milseburg cycle path was followed by a sometimes quite steep climb to the Wasserkuppe on gravel farm roads, which was also manageable with an e-bike without any major problems. From the Wasserkuppe we continued on the main road to Gersfeld with a stop at the Fuldaquelle. From there we …

It's just great what nature …
