The Ederradweg is excellently signposted and well developed, the route often close to the river offers wonderful views and many rest opportunities, is very scenic and varied; the flat terrain is well suited for children and less trained cyclists.

Skillfully avoided the rain. The only rain shower was while sitting at the sour spring with pea soup.

Today we decided not to use the e-bikes. Unfortunately, just before the finish, an e-biker knocked us off our bikes and caused an accident by speeding around a blind curve. Caution is always advised.

Strong headwinds did not make the bike ride unpleasant.

Comfortable bike tour 🚴‍♂️ #without motor through the Edertal to Fritzlar in the brewery 🥨🍺.
For the way back to Werkel and along the Ems via Obervorschütz and Böddiger back to Felsberg-Gensungen.

The rock castle is easier to see from a distance than too close or underneath it. The path through the pond labyrinth in the Eder floodplains is unfortunately badly neglected and would be difficult to navigate in wet weather. Fritzlar is worth a trip.
