Confluence of the Schlitz and Fulda Rivers

Highlight • River

Incidentally, the slot is only 13 km long. Here, the slot flows into the Fulda, although it looks like the Fulda would flow into the slot.

Historic Old Town of Schlitz

Highlight • Historical Site

The town has four castles. The centre of the town is the market square with the St. George's fountain. The town is a medieval jewel. Be sure to go up to the rear tower. There is an elevator. From there you have a beautiful view of the town and the Schlitzer Land. Unfortunately, the restaurants are not tourist-friendly. The few restaurants only open from 5 p.m.

Hallenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hallenburg Castle was the residence of the Counts of Schlitz, lies southeast of the old town of Schlitz and emerged from a fortified estate. Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Schlitz called von Görtz had the baroque palace built on the site from 1706 to 1712.
Today the Hallenburg Palace itself and some of the surrounding buildings house the State Music Academy of Hesse.

The Gräfin-Anna-Straße leads over this bridge at the edge of the castle garden in the direction of the Temple Mount with a height of 387 meters, a hiker's paradise

Old Bridge Over the Schlitz

Highlight • Bridge

Trains once ran over this bridge, on today's Vulkanradweg. The wooden surface rattles violently when the bike is run over.

Lots of space, even if several small foreign groups shelter there, hold, rest. Even toilets are available.

View of Wartenberg Castle Ruins

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Since the Hesse railway cycle path runs north along the Lauter, from there you always have beautiful views of the Wartenberg castle ruins, which are enthroned on a rock spur south of the Lauter.
