A beautiful, partly mountainous route with beautiful old towns such as Warburg, Bad Arolsen and Volkmarsen.
You can also enjoy the landscape of the Hessian mountains. Don't forget the Kugelsburg near Volkmarsen with a distant view over northern Hesse.

I was a bit too energetic in Rhoden and in Wethen and Germete I had slight communication problems with the satnav (FlowApp), hence the three little detours in the tour 🙈
