Today we rode the Umschwang ⛰️ by bike 🚴🏻🚴🏾♀️. 😉😂 And that wasn't primarily due to the fact that we now ride e-bikes. The main reason was that many, many years ago, as simple occasional cyclists, we rode the 🚴🏾♀️ from Witzenhausen via Kleinalmerode and the Umschwang to Kassel. Then we rigorously avoided the route for decades because of the extremely unfriendly traffic (cars, trucks, motorcycles). Today, on June 21, 2025, we seized the opportunity. The road from Kleinalmerode via the Umschwang to Nieste has recently been closed for months, just before Nieste (see https://mobil.hessen.de/presse/l-3237-nieste-grossbaustelle-in-der-ortsdurchfahrt). However, with the 🚴🏾♀️ through the Niester Endschlagsiedlung, this was no problem at all. From Kleinalmerode onwards, we had the road, similar to a two-lane cycle path, to ourselves. We only encountered other cyclists who were just as happy about this experience as we were and who were truly enjoying the truly beautiful landscape in the most beautiful, and up to this point still pleasant, temperatures and weather. Everything to the right and left was lush green. And on the slopes, mostly to the right of the road, in many places everything was covered with wild, pink to purple flowering foxgloves. And the best part: once we reached the 450m elevation, the descent seemed to flow naturally. The sporty racing cyclists we encountered had a harder time—by design. We'll certainly be taking advantage of the road closure, which will last until at least the end of 2025, if not until next spring, at least once this summer and fall, and we can only recommend it to all other cyclists. Especially if they shy away from the otherwise prevalent traffic there like we do, and the devil shy away from holy water.🖐️
