From the wild and romantic Rhön, the Fuldaradweg meanders through a varied river valley to the town Bad Karlshafen. As you travel, you'll pass gentle hills and dense forests and cycle over wide fields, lush meadows and green ranges. You'll visit idyllic towns with pretty half-timbered houses, and you'll experience the best of this varied landscape.

The Fulda cycle path runs for 250 kilometers through northern Hesse and is also referred to as the Hessian Long-Distance Cycle Path R1. The starting point is the Fulda spring on the Wasserkuppe in the Rhön, while the destination is the baroque harbour of Bad Karlshafen.

The best way to get to the starting point on the Wasserkuppe is by the Rhöhnradbus. From the beginning of May to the beginning of October, the bus runs from Gerstfeld to the Wasserkuppe on weekends and holidays. To get to Gerstfeld, you can take the Rhönbahn. More information about the bike bus and the Rhönbahn can be found here: lng-fulda.de/de/Wochenendverkehr.

In each stage destination, you'll find a large selection of hotels and guesthouses where you can easily book a room. You'll also find a helpful train connection should you decide to shorten your trip for any reason.

When you arrive at the end of the Fulda cycle path in Bad Karlshafen, you can either choose to take the train back home—or to wherever you're going next—or to jump on the Weser Cycle Path to the Baltic Sea and continue you're ride north. For more information on the Weser cycle path, check out this Collection: komoot.com/collection/384/weser-cycle-trail

The Fulda cycle path is recommended in the brochure "Deutschland per Rad entdecken" by the ADFC (German Cyclist's Association).
