    The Vorgelsberger Südbahnradweg is characterized by a beautiful route and is completely paved. Just the thing for a nice bike ride.

    The cycle path leads from Hartmannshain in Vogelsbergkreis in a southerly direction over Birstein and Brachttal to Wächtersbach in Kinzigtal. Today it is part of the Bahnradweg Hessen, for further details see also there.

    Its name is the bike path of the Vogelsberger Südbahn, which was shut down between 1958 and 1967. Since the former railway line is no longer usable due to many built-up areas and the vegetation (nature conservation), the paved road runs almost independently through the landscape. In some places gradients (sometimes over 10%) require safe braking, especially from inline skaters.
