Herbstein Railway Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Trains once ran over this structure. To the north, they went to Lauterbach to the South Station, which is also no longer served today. To the south, the tracks led into the Oberwald to the ammunition depot.

View of Herbstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the cycle path you have a great view across the meadows to Herbstein, which lies on a small hill. A detour to the town and a visit to the old town with its pretty half-timbered houses or the spa is well worth it.

St. Andrew's Church, Altenschlirf

Highlight • Religious Site

The construction of the hall church began in 1753 and was completed in 1755. It has a high church tower in the east, in which a church bell from the 15th century hangs. The tower's onion-shaped dome continues in a double lantern.
The interior of the nave has two circular ceiling paintings depicting seraphim. The galleries are painted with bouquets of flowers and fruit as well as Bible verses and were renovated in 1939. The pulpit, built around 1755, has statues of the four evangelists, and there is a figure of Christ on the sound cover. The baptismal font dates from 1652.
The first organ was built in 1789 by Johann-Markus Oestreich. It was replaced in 1930 by a work with twelve registers, two manuals and a pedal by Förster & Nicolaus Orgelbau in the organ case from 1789, which is flanked by two tuba angels.

Like the entire cycle path, this section is well developed. A normal trekking bike is sufficient.

October 1, 2021,Oktober-Sonne und ein Bauernhof-Eis vom Auhof

Pure October sunshine and pleasant temperatures, you definitely have to go on a bike tour.

So I went back to the Auhof near Frischborn, because there is a delicious farm ice cream there, probably the last ice cream I ate there this year.

Our bikes were freshly cleaned, but it had rained every now and then in the past two days. So today we had to find a route on which the bikes would stay clean.
So today there was an asphalt lap in Vogelsberg, which is a bit hilly, but is still very easy to drive.
Only between Zahmen and Heisters and …

Today, after a holiday in Saale, Unstrut and Ilm, another tour in my home country. I followed the tour to the Auhof recommended by @Rainer. Very nice tour, on wonderful paths. Unfortunately I couldn't try the advantages of the Auhof, which was open. There was a party at the previous fishing pond, so I took good care of myself

Another nice tour through the Vogelsberg today. All in wonderful ways. Over the Grabberg, Zahmen, to Heisters. A super asphalted dirt road begins in Heisers and ends in Crainfeld. In Crainfeld I took the volcano cycle path. In Herbstein I left it and panned over the Schalksbachteiche and the Auhof. At the Schalksbachteiche in the pond house there is a …

Today's tour leads over the Grabberg, Zahmen to Heisters. From Heisters in the Lüdertal on a very beautiful field path to Crainfeld. On the volcano cycle path to Herbstein. Before Herbstein, turn off past the Schrimpf gravel works, a bit through Herbstein to the Kolpingdorf Vogelsberg. Past the Schalksbachteichen to the Auhof. There is a small refreshment station here, especially …

Today a very nice tour in the Vogelsberg. All beautiful ways. In Herbstein I left the Vulkanradweg and made a pan over the Schalksbach ponds and the Auhof. At the Schalksbach pond in the pond house there is a box in which drinks can be taken for a fee. A beautiful facility. The "famous" ice cream shop was open at …
