View of Rhoden and Rhoden Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Anyone who loves to cycle through flat fields and meadows on the Diemel has come to the right place. Rhoden, a district of Diemelstadt, is not far from the Dortmund-Kassel motorway. A detour to the castle is also possible.

A few signs are still missing.
So set Navi on.

March 23, 2022,Helsen - Wrexen - Warburg - Volkmarsen - Twistesee

From Helsen I followed the R6 to Wrexen, only saving myself the swing through Rhoden.
From Wrexen it went on the Diemelradweg to Warburg and from there along the Twiste to Volkmarsen and further past Neu Berich to Twistesee. From there through Wetterburg up the Wetterburger Berg to Arolsen and back to Helsen.
A very nice tour with pleasant gradients, …

I was a bit too energetic in Rhoden and in Wethen and Germete I had slight communication problems with the satnav (FlowApp), hence the three little detours in the tour 🙈
The natural wading pool is well hidden at …
