Locomotive on the Vogelsberg Southern Railway Cycle Path

Highlight • Monument

The locomotive is not the original locomotive of the former Südbahn, but is the identical locomotive of the Gelnhausen district railway, whose operation was also discontinued in 1974.

December 27, 2023,🚵🏼‍♀️Von Hesseldorf über den Radweg auf die Herchenhainer Höhe🚵🏼‍♀️

If someone says again that e-biking isn't strenuous, they'll get a stick 😅

Since Claudi unfortunately has to work, I set off to Hartmannshain alone today. Since the forest is flooding, I took the bike path 😊

The temperatures were again at the limit for my equipment, even though I had more on than last. But it was blowing well …

May 14, 2025,2.MTB-Rundtour Wächtersbach-Hoherodskopf-Fuchstrail-Loipe 6-Südbahnradweg 💪🚴 🌞 🌞 🌞

Today's tour started in beautiful weather🌞 🌞 🌞 from the P+R parking lot in Wächtersbach. We're doing this tour for the second time in four days because we loved it so much. The climb takes us uphill on the alternative route of the Southern Railway Cycle Path (highly recommended, with forest and meadow paths and hardly any traffic) to Hohenrodskopf. …

A great e-bike tour, in the best cycling weather, with my wife on the Hoherodskopf, in the beautiful Vogelsberg
🚴🏻‍♀️🥰🥰🥰🚴🏻

We did this tour last year and, because we liked it so much, we've decided to do it again this year 😉👍🏻

Today was probably our last e-bike tour of the year and also a birthday tour for my wife 🥰

It was a beautiful autumnal day 🍂🍁, the stop at the Hoherodskopf mountain inn was very cozy, and the food was delicious 😋
We also had freshly tapped Oktoberfest beer from Will-Bräu 🍺🤪🍺

Our first “real” tour with our new e-bikes 🚴🏻‍♀️🥰🚴🏻

I never thought that I would be able to get to the Hoherodskopf again with one of our bikes, like in my best MTB days - but ⚡️ actually makes it possible 👍🏻😊

July 7, 2024,Südbahnradweg Wächtersbach🔁 Hartmannshain🌞🚵🏻‍♀️💚🩵

Today, no grandma and grandpa ticking duty, so off we went on our bikes and went on a wish-you-were-here tour🥰... Thank you so much for the route that was completely unknown to me, the amazing sunshine. This magnificent peace and quiet and the lack of people and cars, just pure nature.😉 The smell of hay, the chirping of grilled meat, …

May 31, 2024,🚵🏼‍♀️Brückentagstour nach Hartmannshain🚵🏼‍♀️

Since the forest is simply drowning, we decided to go on a tour along the cycle path today.

The classic route was along the southern railway cycle path to Hartmannshain, where we had lunch at the gate to the Vogelsberg.

The weather held up so we arrived home dry.
