The Trendelburg towers above the town of the same name and is well worth a break for a long break. In the well-preserved medieval castle is now a hotel and also a cozy restaurant. A special highlight is the keep. After the Brothers Grimm lived on the Trendelburg once the famous King's daughter Rapunzel and therefore the huge tower is now called Rapunzelturm. You can climb the castle tower and with good visibility you can even see Kassel in the distance.

Carlsbahn Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The 202-meter-long Carlsbahntunnel, completed in 1847, is the oldest railway tunnel in Hesse. Nowadays there are no longer any rails, the passage is reserved for cyclists and hikers. It's always cool inside, a welcome cooling off on hot days. The tunnel is closed to people between October and April because in winter the bats appreciate the tunnel as a place of retreat and do not want to be disturbed.

Wülmersen Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

In the meantime, a very nicely restored facility. In the 1950s the facility was abandoned and declared abandoned. In 1987 the sad remains were acquired by the Association for Education and Training (AuF) in the district of Kassel e.V. and the ruins were secured and rebuilt.

Reinhardswald Ostrich Farm

Highlight • Structure

In France I got to know ostrich meat for the first time.
It really is a recommendation.
Low in cholesterol and so tasty that you only need a little salt and you can do without pepper and other spices.

Hello cycling friends! That was the first round to Wülmersen Castle with coffee and cake! It was great despite the Sahara dust that darkened the sky!

Our Easter tour to Bad Karlshafen on the Weser River via the Diemel Cycle Path. Unfortunately, the Bosch app crashed along the way, so today it was a three-part tour—a beautiful tour in perfect weather 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🐕

A nice balanced tour with not too many climbs. In Wilmersen at the Wasserburg you can drink nice coffee and if you have a charging cable with you, you can also take an e-bike

April 14, 2024,Mooie fietstocht naar Trendelburg, met de toren van Rapunzel/Repelsteeltje

Virtually car-free, past quiet authentic villages to the castle situated on a hill, and a loop to admire it from all sides.
