A wonderful section between Heidelbach and Alsfeld. The cycle path runs almost continuously along the Schwalm and offers a wonderful view of the idyllic ambience of the meadows and meadows. One of my absolute favorite bike routes.

Rotkäppchenweg near Loshausen

Highlight • Monument

On the entire route from Treysa to Oberaula - Wahlshausen a very nice to ride asphalted bike path. The constant slight slope is also very good for children and older people.

June 23, 2024,Schwalm: Zwischen Alsfeld und Treysa

Beautiful stage on the Schwalm in a wide valley with lots of meadows and fields, often on a wonderful asphalt cycle path in the middle of nowhere. But also close to the Schwalm or the Old Schwalm, it goes along tall riverside trees with lots of willow trees, but also ash, beech, silver poplar and oak.
Farmers were at work …

Lots of paved paths, dirt roads that are easy to drive, two small sections that are a little more difficult to drive because the meadow path is a bit uneven, but I did it too 😃

June 25, 2023,🚲 Bio Bike Tour zum Hochwasserrückhaltebecken bei Heidelbach gemacht

Today we went to the water retention basin near Heidelbach.
That's a change :-)
E vs Bio.
But it's fun, even if it's more strenuous, that's how it should be.

March 9, 2026,Ich dreh am Rad 🚲

Today I was very good and only used paved roads.

I went on country roads for a bit, but there weren't many cars.

With this weather, I got out of the house and onto my bike.
