Cycle path on the former B 40 route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

After the A 66 motorway between Neuhof and Fulda-Süd was completed, the B 40 federal road, which had been heavily used until then, was dismantled. A cycle path was created on the renaturalized route of the former route near Dorfborn, which is part of the Hessian long-distance cycle route R3.

Historic Water Tower Neuhof

Highlight • Monument

The former moated castle "Castrum Nuwenhof" in Neuhof was an impressive medieval water castle 🏰💧, built in the 13th century by the noble family von Nuenhov. It was strategically located in the Fliede valley and later served as a secondary residence and administrative center for the prince-abbots of Fulda.
Fun Fact:
The name "Castrum Nuwenhof" means something like "New Court" – an indication that the castle was an important stronghold in the region.

Former Moated Castle Neuhof

Highlight • Castle

Originally a moated castle with a square floor plan, four round corner towers with clapboard half-timbered upper floors
Low parts of the enclosing walls and four round corner battery towers have been preserved from the former square castle complex. All other (castle) buildings were demolished. Today's school building is still based on the original castle complex in the approximate three-wing system.

View of Monte Kali

Highlight • Viewpoint

The salt dump of the potash works in Neuhof-Ellers, which is typical for Neuhof, can be seen from afar with its current height of around 500 m above sea level. The view from the cycle path between Flieden and Neuhof is particularly interesting, as the above-ground facilities of the potash plant can also be clearly seen. By the way, the Kaliberg can be visited after registration and every year a concert takes place on the summit plateau under the title "Music on top": kpluss.com/de-de/ueber-ks/standorte/europa/neuhof- ellers / monte-kali / index.html

Steep climb from Hauswurz to Kauppen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

First part of the ascent from Hauswurz to Buchenrod. After a first small ramp at the Hauswurz exit, there is a small, winding trough before the most beautiful part of the climb, the straight, steep ramp to Kauppen, follows. Above you have a great view of the Vogelsberg.
