Kanonenbahn Rail Trail Tunnels

Highlight • Cycleway

This section is awesome. The quality of the bike path is great. Very often there are benches to rest. The 5 tunnels are an experience. The signs are perfect. It's just fun.

The Küllstedt tunnel is 1530 meters long, and a few meters before you enter the draft lets you feel where the path leads: into cold darkness. But there is an …

First we headed north from Geismar, past Gleichenstein Castle with a challenging 12% gradient, and then enjoyed a long, rapid descent to Wachstedt.

The section of the former Berlin-Wetzlar-Metz-Strasbourg (Alsace-Lorraine) railway line offers a very special experience of nature.

There are many small huts along the way for a rest in the shade.
