View of Hoher Meißner

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, you really have a fantastic view of the surrounding area and the Hoher Meißner, but not of ALL of Northern Hesse! The name doesn't quite fit 🤦‍♂️😬😅. Still, it's worth a detour 😉!

82 km circular route in glorious May 1st summer weather... This route is highly recommended. Lots of places to stop for refreshments, plenty of seating and huts along the route.

A tour around the Hohen Meißner 753 m.⛰️ on wonderful paths, such as the Werratalradweg 🏞️ on old railway lines 🚂 across the Frau Holle Land. With its great mountainous landscape and great views 🔭 can only be recommended 👍

I always enjoy riding this route... Not just because it's right on my doorstep, but because the circuit never gets boring...there's always something new to see. The route is very easy to ride on a touring bike. Not particularly demanding, but some fitness is required for the approximately 82 km.

Despite the forecast for rain showers, I set off for northern Hesse. I really enjoyed the Meissen cycle path, even though there were quite a few elevation changes!

👋 We set off at 11 a.m. when the temperature was still quite cool. Contrary to the weather forecast, there was no sign of sun. Sweaters and jackets were recommended. But it turned out to be a really nice autumn tour through the Werra-Meißner district, which we hadn't planned to be this long. You just have to make the most …

From my hometown I set off on a round trip through the land of Mother Holle. From Laudenbach onwards the weather gods were not kind to me and opened their floodgates over the Meissner. It was a good thing that I found a deluxe rest stop in Hasselbach. Unfortunately the rain wouldn't stop and so the journey continued to Reichensachsen …
