The detours are following us on the Fulda Cycle Path, and the cable ferry is also out of service.

Just driving today. Only rain for the first 2 hours. Then lots of sun with occasional light showers. Decided to book a hotel in Melsungen early and stay there until Monday. Many storks and many cyclists on the Fuldaradweg. route very nice.

June 17, 2025,Day 15: OberMelsungen

The day started with a warm milk not quite start from the cow but close. I was riding by 7.45 when it was cooler, ended up doing 38miles before midday. The riding was easiest I’ve had and most enjoyable, the screeners was brilliant. The route took you from the hills and just wound its way following the river and fields. …

July 5, 2025,Emstour E 16 R: Melsungen nach Schlitz

There are several inexplicable detours on the Fulda Cycle Path:
1. The closure of the "cycle path highlight," the cable ferry! It has to happen during peak season, of all times. A heartfelt thank you to the "non-responsible" city officials of Malsfeld.
2. The cycle path diversion near Niederaula. The route goes up the steep hill – along the A7 …

June 10, 2025,Fulda Radweg Tag 2 - von Porta nach Melsungen

There was no danger of entering the anaerobic zone today, as the route continued steadily downhill on day 2.

In today's section, the valley widens increasingly; the hills bordering the valley become flatter and are therefore used as pastureland and are no longer as densely wooded as on day 1.

July 6, 2025,Sommerradreise Tag 8 Fuldaradweg 1

I set off in the morning in sunshine and headed straight onto the Fulda Cycle Path.
Bad Hersfeld, Rotenburg, and Melsungen were on the way.
There was a big festival going on in Rotenburg, but I found a spot and was served an ice cream.
Back on the rather unspectacular route between the towns, it started to rain lightly and …
