Kinzig Loop

Highlight • River

Just sit down on the grass and follow the play of the water whirlpools!
In February/March the forest behind you is full of wild garlic.

Kinzigtal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

It's nice to have a cycle path next to the motorway, but you don't have to. But the problem remains throughout the Kinzigtal that there are hardly any quiet corners due to the ICE route and the A66.

Kinzig Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Kinzig Valley between Gelnhausen and Schlüchtern is, apart from a few short sections, a natural cycle route. I always enjoy cycling it.

September 12, 2025,Von Klein-Krotzenburg nach Bad Soden und zurück

Sorry, the recording doesn't start until Hanau.
A very nice, flat route on the outward journey through the Kinzig Valley, with a highlight in Bad Soden. The return journey, away from the Kinzig Valley, isn't as scenic.

In great heat, we drive from the birthplace Hanau to Steinau an der Straße, where the father was a district administrator.

July 8, 2023,Kinzig-Radweg: Steinau an der Straße | Wächtersbach | Gelnhausen | Hanau

Yesterday at the Hattsteinweiher, I spontaneously thought about doing a bike ride on the Kinzig. I know Steinau an der Straße from my childhood and it is simply a beautiful little town and our starting point today. This was followed by a nice, varied, mostly flat tour with many half-timbered towns and castles and a bathing lake.

July 14, 2023,Rückingen, Wilhelmsbad, Schloss Phillippsruhe, Hanau-Steinheim 🥰😎😊👌

Today we went in bright sunshine via Rückingen to Wilhelmsbad. 😍 Continue to Phillippsruhe Castle 🏰 to Hanau-Steinheim. The piece along the Main is always beautiful. ☺️ The bridge over which I actually wanted to go to the other bike path was closed, so a detour via Großauheim. But it was great, because I got a Malibu with passion fruit …

May 13, 2024,Ab Schlüchtern durch das Kinzigtal

Today I took the train to Schlüchtern. From there I mainly cycled back on the R3 long-distance cycle path through the Kinzig valley. Every single town along the way is actually worth visiting and staying there for a while. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do that today due to time constraints. Many branches off the R3 into the Spessart, Vogelberg …

July 17, 2022,Schwester im Krankenhaus Gelnhausen besucht. Mit kleinem Umweg über den Erlensee und den Kinzigsee🤫🙃👍

Finally a really successful tour. Because of Lyme disease with the worst headache and after the Corona aftermath finally subsided, back on the bike. Man, what did I miss that. First towards Langenselbold and on to Erlensee. You have to push your bike around the Erlensee, but it's worth it. An absolute oasis of calm, so beautiful.😍 Relaxed in a …
