July 13, 2024,Katharinenweg vor A Chorus Line - ein Tag in Bad Hersfeld 🫶😘😍🥂
A day to my taste. Art, culture, hiking, food. Bad Hersfeld makes it possible. In the morning I took the train 🚆 to Bad Hersfeld, I had already picked out the Katharinenweg because it was just over 5 km long and suited the performance. A nice circular route over a lot of asphalt, which is OK.
After that I did …

Very nice to walk on different surfaces and environments. It's fantastic if you go "into the Alps" from above.

This circular route starts at the spa park. It provides interesting insights into the southwest and the town center of Bad Hersfeld.

The spa park was created in 1906 and redesigned in 2007 as the “Park of the Seasons”. At the end of the park, the path goes uphill for a short stretch along Am Hainberg and in a wide …

You don't have to leave Bad Hersfeld's city limits to enjoy stunning views and beautiful forest trails!

A premium hiking trail is indicated between the fitness trail and the dance floor. Unfortunately, it is nothing more than a steep, overgrown tractor track, no marking at all, far from premium.

June 7, 2025,Katharinenweg in Bad Hersfeld - leichte Abwandlung
A beautiful, well-marked hiking trail along the edge of the forest, through the forest, across the city, and past the sights.

The paths are mostly paved or forest trails with gentle inclines.

... not the complete original path, because I chose a different start and spontaneously took a lot of the way... but it was very varied 😃
