Chapel of the Virgin Mary between Almendorf and Melzdorf

In this place, it pays to pause for a moment. In addition, let your eyes wander into the distance. You can see all the way to the Wasserkuppe.

Of course done with the MTB, but just great on bike paths.
Started at 26°C in Hilders (according to Wetter.com on the route only cloudy with no risk of precipitation, as far as wetter.com, haha...🤬)
Few pictures, because from about km 20 we only drove away from the rain (15°C 🥶 lowest temperature on the trip). So we only shot …

Today, on day two, I went on a very nice bike tour. The Milseburg cycle path, an old railway line that has been converted into a cycle path, is really beautiful to ride. To complete my tour, I found several cycle paths that make this tour a very nice tour through the Rhön.

Today a tour in the Rhön. Via the Milseburgradweg to Rupsroth. Across to Dietges and over the old federal road to Grabenhöfchen. Over to the Fuldaer Haus.
The descent via Steinwand, Friesenhausen, Wissels to Almendorf. The tour is simply a delight. There are always views that captivate you. Simply beautiful.

This tour is just great to ride because you find the best cycle paths here. The weather showed its best side, it wasn't hot and also not too windy. For lunch, we ate very well, and were able to set off for the starting point well-satiated.
I would like to recommend this tour to every cycling friend.

This morning at 9 am we rode the Milseburgradweg from Götzenhof to Rupsrodt! From Rupsrodt, we turned right towards the Hochrhönradweg! About the Hochrhönradweg, I can only say "First class" On a super surface (maybe 1km of forest path, which is also easy to ride) we rode past the Fuldaer Haus to the Steinwand in the place of the same …

Nice round in the Kuppenrhön on an old railway line. It goes through the 1km long bicycle tunnel (illuminated). Before Hilders cross to the Hochrhön along the art mile via the Fuldaer Haus back to the Götzenhof. Here you can easily park your car.

Today, a tour in the Rhön with my wife. Our destination was the Jausenstation Eselsbrunn near the Fuldaer Haus. Unfortunately, the Jausenstation Eselsbrunn is only open on Sundays and public holidays from 1 PM, and only in May and September/October. I can only recommend stopping here.
Since it is a circular route, you can start anywhere along the way. This …
