July 31, 2024,eBike Tour Malsfeld <> Rotenburg a. d. Fulda 🚲😎💪🏻

Today, despite the heat, we chose a different direction again. We went along the Fulda to Rothenburg.

Due to the holiday season, the beautiful little old town was completely overcrowded.

A quick visit to my cousin at the hydroelectric power station and then we headed leisurely back home.

August 25, 2025,Tour nach Rotenburg a.d.Fulda mit Besuch des Highwalk

Today, I spontaneously drove from Malsfeld along the R1 to Rothenburg with friends, visiting the Highwalk (a suspension bridge over the Kottenbach Valley). (The ice cream was delicious, the weather was perfect—what more could you want?)

September 1, 2024,eBike Tour Malsfeld nach Rotenburg a. d. F. und zurück 🚲😎☕

Nice leisurely tour spontaneously on a late Sunday afternoon.

Because of the heat, the plan was only to drive to Ahlhein to the battleship, eat a bite to eat and enjoy a cool 🍺.

But it felt like hundreds of other people had the same plan and the battleship was almost full.

Beautiful bike tour with Haydau Monastery as a stopover.
The bicycle ferry over the Fulda near Beiseförth is highly recommended, but it is also tiring

September 20, 2025,MEG <--> ROF

The plan was actually to ride to Bebra and then back on the Cantus. Instead, we rode, or rather pushed, a bit through Rotenburg. There was a festival or a flea market there, or maybe both. The pedestrian zone was completely packed, so you can't ride there. Then we took a leisurely ride back on the Cantus. That was enough …

May 18, 2023,Weser Fulda Radrunde, von Rotenburg nach Melsungen

On the second day of the tour, we went to the former Haydau monastery and then to Melsungen. In Haydau there is a café with sensational cakes and live music on Sundays and public holidays. Melsungen has beautiful half-timbered houses, just like in Rotenburg.

May 24, 2025,30 jähriges Jubiläum -der Kuckucksmarkt in Braach 🪺

A week of celebrations, with open-air events and hut-style fun. We went to the market in Braach today. There were 60 stalls with handicrafts and food. Fantastic barbecue in the courtyard garden. Gabi and I cycled through Morschen and Alheim and back via the bike path via Haydau. I'm so glad to have such great friends who always go on …
