Rotkäppchenweg near Loshausen

Highlight • Monument

On the entire route from Treysa to Oberaula - Wahlshausen a very nice to ride asphalted bike path. The constant slight slope is also very good for children and older people.

A wonderful section between Heidelbach and Alsfeld. The cycle path runs almost continuously along the Schwalm and offers a wonderful view of the idyllic ambience of the meadows and meadows. One of my absolute favorite bike routes.

Beautiful stage on the Schwalm in a wide valley with lots of meadows and fields, often on a wonderful asphalt cycle path in the middle of nowhere. But also close to the Schwalm or the Old Schwalm, it goes along tall riverside trees with lots of willow trees, but also ash, beech, silver poplar and oak.
Farmers were at work …

Very nice tour on almost the entire route paved bike paths. Just a short piece of dirt road.
