The bridge in the forest

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is near the Sehmenbach spring and is a nice photo opportunity. It is always a bit cooler here than on the rest of the way.

Unfortunately, a bit away from the bike path, in the castle courtyard, is the castle coffee. We recommend. Regarding the Corona opening times, please check the Internet.

September 9, 2022,Tourtag 1: von Fulda nach Gedern über Bahntrasse und Vulkanradweg

It started in the first section from Fulda to Lauterbach on the Bahntrassenweg. From Lauterbach it went slightly up to Gedern. In between, the Uhuklippen and the former ski jump were visited.

A very nice first day of the tour. The only drawback was the wind, which made it a bit difficult. Otherwise a very nice bike path, very well …

Start was today in Gedern. The castle there should be the highlight in town. At least I haven't found anything else. Then straight up to the highest point of the whole tour. Then the carnival stronghold of Herbstein and later Lauterbach. I just drove through slot quickly, I'll stay there overnight on the way back, so I'll definitely have more …

Overnight stay in the castle (hotel) in Gedern and the next day continue on the volcano cycle path. Another former railway line leads to Schlitz. The last part of today's stage along the Fulda begins there. Finally, the town of the same name is reached.

Second day of our tour from Hanau to Würzburg 😎
We headed steadily downhill along the Vulkanradweg (volcano cycle path) towards Schlitz, where we had to take a break for a warming drink. With temperatures around 10-12 degrees Celsius, it wasn't exactly cozy 😅
Thanks to everyone who kept their fingers crossed, it didn't rain 🤣

- Schlitz, thanks to its five castles, is known beyond …
