The local recreation area Fulda-Aue is not far away from the city center of Fulda. A wonderful green oasis in the middle of the city of Fulda. Various walking paths lead through the Fulda Aue. The Fulda Aue can also be wonderfully explored by bike. At the level of the Aueweiher there is a bicycle road, further forward in the direction of the fire brigade museum the bicycle path was completely renewed in 2020.

Große Nalle and Nalle Lake

Highlight • Summit

From the summit or what has remained - because a large part of the summit area has fallen victim to the former basalt quarry - offers a fantastic panoramic view of the front Rhön with their tops: Milseburg, Wachtküppel, horse head, Wasserkuppe, Heidelstein and Simmersberg.

Napoleon Beech

Highlight • Monument

Napoleon stopped here in 1813 after his defeat at the Battle of Leipzig. The old street probably had a different course than it is today.
The beech tree to commemorate this event was planted in 1984 by the Club of Presidents of the Cold Market in Schlüchtern. A small pond and benches invite you to rest. Whether Napoleon is thought of is irrelevant.

If you're driving up or down the ridge past the old ammunition bunkers, be careful not to miss the entrance! It's a bit hidden, but the spot with the beech tree is beautifully situated and well worth seeing. 🌳🌲 #Ridge #AmmunitionBunkers #Entrance #Spot #Beech

Beautifully planted perennials and flowerbeds between small ponds and the floodplain landscape, parallel to the river. Very nice for a short walk. Benches on the bank with a beautiful view of the sparkling water.

Today the Aueweiher lies quietly again in the city park of Fulda. Many sights were set up here during the 2023 State Garden Show.
