Hünfeld–Wenigentaft Rail Trail near Steinbach

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path uses the route of the former Hünfeld-Wenigentaft railway line. Therefore, there are only slight inclines and you can cycle relaxed through the beautiful landscape of the Kuppenrhön.

View of Burghaun

Highlight • Viewpoint

To see Burghaun from the hill - for me it has something. But no matter where you stand, you only ever see part of Burghaun, never the whole village.

May 14, 2025,Runde nach Bad Hersfeld

Our bike tour took us to Bad Hersfeld. We followed the Kegelspiel cycle path to Burghaun, then the Haunetal cycle path to Bad Hersfeld. From Oberhaun, we switched back to the Eitra cycle path and followed it to Arzell. Via Leimbach, we rejoined the Kegelspiel cycle path and turned off to Malges. A beautiful tour that we'd love to do …

August 26, 2023,Hersfeld über Eitra- und Haune Radweg

Made a tour to Bad Hersfeld today. The shortest route is via the Eitra Valley Cycle Path. I actually always leave it in Oberhaun and ride there via the Hauneradweg and Johannesberg to Bad Hersfeld, which for me is clearly the nicer option. But that was supposed to be my way back, so I drove along the old main road …

Leaving Bad Hersfeld behind, the route continues along quiet country roads, cycle paths, and forest trails along the railway tracks and the Haune River. After a few kilometers, you reach the entrance to the Haune Valley Cycle Path. This path continues to Burghaun (Hünefeld), where you then join the Kegelspiel Cycle Path. This former railway line is truly beautiful and …

September 27, 2023,Runde bis Bad Hersfeld

Today my tour went to Bad Hersfeld. I left the bowling alley cycle path near Steinbach and took the tarred connecting path to Oberstoppel. From there I took the road down to just before the Sennhütte. We continued on the Haunetal cycle path to Bad Hersfeld. I actually wanted to treat myself to a nice ice cream sundae at the …

After I spent half a day making jam and cake from greengages, we went for a bike ride in the late afternoon. The sun was shining, but we also had to battle a strong headwind at times. After a bit of back-and-forth at first, our route led us to Vollmarsburg, a restaurant above Rotensee. We had a bite to eat …

August 10, 2025,Erstmals Schloss Buchenau besucht

After seeing the beautiful pictures of Buchenau Castle that @anemone54 recently took on her tour, I knew I had to go there sometime. Although I've cycled through Buchenau many times, I've only ever seen the castle. I hadn't realized that such a castle was hidden there.
