The city center of Melsungen is characterized by an almost closed appearance
Half-timbered buildings. The central market square with the massive town hall is particularly impressive. The town hall from 1555/56 is a pure three-story half-timbered building.

You can see a lot of history here, there are lots of great building methods and opportunities for a rest or overnight stay.

🖐️ Melsungen. Always happy to go back. From Witzenhausen, you can even reach it in the morning (7:37 a.m.) by a "through" train. You "simply stay" on this train at Kassel Central Station and then continue towards Bad Hersfeld, arriving in Melsungen at the station at 9:05 a.m. You can also get off at the Bartenwetzer Bridge. Then you're right in the middle of the city and, if you travel on a Thursday, which I highly recommend, in the middle of a beautiful market that leaves nothing to be desired. And why is this a cycling highlight? If you've only ever taken the train? Quite simply. After a refreshment at the market, the return journey follows the "water," now by bike/e-bike for about 85 km, first along the Fulda River to Kassel, then on to Hann. Münden, and then, changing direction, along the Werra River to Witzenhausen. And if you can't take it any longer, there are a few "milk cans" along the way where you can take the train again. 😉
