Beautiful bike tour with Haydau Monastery as a stopover.
The bicycle ferry over the Fulda near Beiseförth is highly recommended, but it is also tiring

On the second day of the tour, we went to the former Haydau monastery and then to Melsungen. In Haydau there is a café with sensational cakes and live music on Sundays and public holidays. Melsungen has beautiful half-timbered houses, just like in Rotenburg.

On the road on the R1 in dream weather 😁
We started from Melsungen and a short time later we had the first highlight: the cable ferry at Beisefört over the approx. 40m wide Fulda. You crank yourself and the bike across the river to get to the other side. I thought it was great, but I didn't have to …

Today we went four times again. Nice easy tour with the Knoppere experts to Rotenburg. And luckily the Hof Haferma beer garden was still open. The pirate ship ...... a beer garden is already being dismantled.
