April 6, 2026,Guxhagen - Büchenwerra - Guxhagen ☀️☀️☀️

We go on the right side of the Fulda towards Büchenwerra, cross the Fulda there and go back to Guxhagen on the other side.
With the beautiful weather, many cyclists are out and about and you have to be extremely careful.
It was a nice round with lovely people.

The Mönchspfad themed hiking trail starts at Speckenplatz in Büchenwerra and initially follows the Fulda cycle route R1 to Guxhagen. A visit to the monastery in Breitenau is worthwhile. The …
