September 23, 2021,Hessentour - Tag 6 - Bad Salzschlirf - Bad Orb

Very nice tour of the volcano and the Vogelsberger Südbahnradweg. Again and again panoramic views of the landscape and nice little places.
The volcano cycle path leads along the edge of the Vogelsberg. The route climbs steadily to Hartmannshain, but it is easy to do thanks to the railway line. Since we were up to 400m high, we were always …

May 22, 2026,Fulda-Wächtersbach über Lauterbach - Vulkan-und Südbahnradweg

From Fulda via the R1/R2 to Bad Salzschlirf and Lauterbach. From there via the Vulkan- und Südbahnradweg cycle path to Wächtersbach. Almost only good asphalt under the tires and a very well-signposted route. Today the windmills had a day off in the Vogelsberg and Spessart. It was a beautiful tour today at pleasant temperatures.

On the 4th stage of our vacation trip, we cycled on Hesse's railway cycle paths, especially the Vulkan cycle path and the Vogelsberger Südbahn cycle path. A very nice route, exclusively on great paths off the beaten track. Thanks to forests and unique nature, there was nothing that was disturbing. A few smaller places, otherwise just a region. With the …
