Over 300 half-timbered buildings have been preserved in the old town of Melsungen. Particularly beautiful medieval old town with historic half-timbered streets. A tour is reminiscent of the city's economic prosperity in the Middle Ages.

Distance to the German Unity cycle path: around 100 metres. Accessible at any time.

After the stress of the morning, I needed a relaxing ride in the afternoon. Just ride along 😜

With humor and great stories, our tour guides took us back to Melsungen from Melsungen - Gensungen-Felsberg-Wolfershausen-Haldorf-Grifte-Edermünde-Guxhagen-Grebenau-Lobenhausen. The full moon then accompanied us from around 10 p.m. and the 4-hour tour with the still warm summer wind was wonderful. Many thanks to the 2 tour guides from the ADFC!
