Running

The Oechsenbahn cycle path - recently also called the Embergradweg - begins in Wenigentaft, right on the state border between Hesse and Thuringia, and follows the route of the former Oechsenbahn via Buttlar and Bermbach to the long-gone potash shafts in Oechsen (Niederoechsen). The old railway line was shut down in 1952 and dismantled in 1953. On the now paved route you overcome almost 200 meters in altitude over a distance of approx. 10 km (maximum 3% incline) in a scenic environment.
