July 2, 2022,Radtour bei schönsten Wetter. 😁

Today we drove from Morschen to Bad Hersfeld and back. We had the best cycling weather, but Bad Hersfeld, for example, was very crowded. Festivals. And in Rothenburg it was hard to get through, there was a beach party in town.

Another wonderful tour today on the Fuldaradweg. There were beautiful half-timbered houses to see. A special experience was the self-operated cable ferry.

We started in Melsungen in beautiful weather and headed over hills and along the banks of the Fulda to Bad Hersfeld. The tour took just over 3 hours and the pictures describe the beautiful landscape.

July 11, 2026,Fuldaradweg 2026: Melsungen -> Bad Hersfeld

Today a tour on the Fuldaradweg cycle path. We parked the car at the P&R parking lot in Bad Hersfeld. We then took the train to Melsungen. Advantage, the Regio-Express starts in Bad Hersfeld, so it's still empty, you have time to stow your bikes.
After getting off in Melsungen, we went across the old Fulda bridge into the old …

We parked the car in Bad Hersfeld at the P&R parking lot and took the train to Melsungen. Then we went back to Bad Hersfeld on the beautiful Fulda cycle path. Always a nice ride. This time we did not take the cable ferry behind Beiseförth, but drove over the parallel street. Just one car passed us. The cable ferry …

Day 11 of our Germany tour from Flensburg to Füssen: Melsungen ➡️ Bad Hersfeld

After yesterday's thunderstorms, we started this morning at much lower temperatures.

The route ran along federal and country roads more often today, but was still easy to ride. The cycle paths directly along the Fulda and through the countryside were also great again.

September 3, 2024,Fulda Radweg, Bad Hersfeld bis Melsungen

The tour was very nice, unfortunately the historic part of Rothenburg was a construction site. It was very hot again and the cable ferry was the most difficult part - phew, what an effort we had to make. The altitude is once again utopian.
