Located directly on the Fulda River – above the town on the Fulda Cycle Path and about a 10- to 15-minute walk from the town center – is the campsite. Until 1959, this site featured a "beach bathing area" where one could swim directly in the Fulda under the supervision of a lifeguard. The current campsite building, which now houses the sanitary facilities (toilets and showers), a restaurant, and the administration offices, was built in 1931. Directly opposite the campsite is the festival grounds, where the "Heimat- und Strandfest" (Local Heritage and Beach Festival) takes place annually on the first weekend in July. There is a spacious landing stage for boaters and canoeists. https://campingplatz-rof.de/ https://rotenburg-erleben.de/heimat-und-strandfest-jaehrlich-jedes-erste-juli-wochenende/

The castle park, which has only been open to the general public for around 100 years, is home to botanical features from all over the world. The Rotenburg castle park was created in the 16th century and has undergone many changes over the course of its history. Most interventions have been to its detriment. Located in the middle of the city, it has repeatedly been a preferred building site for municipal and state buildings. For many years, Ms. Brigitte Hallenberger has been working on identifying trees and shrubs that have survived these interventions as exotic species and were often in danger of being removed. Many specimens certainly date back to the Landgrave era, but nothing is known about when they were planted. Some are very rare and cannot even be found in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park today. More exotic plants are to be planted in the coming years, thus helping to raise awareness of the castle park in the old Landgrave town of Rotenburg a. d. Fulda among the people of Rotenburg and its guests. (Source: https://www.deutsche-maerchenstrasse.com/poi/rotenburger-schlosspark)

As far as is known, Mecklar was first mentioned in documents in 1252.[2] Mecklar has always been closely connected to the river Fulda, which divides the village into an old and a new part. There used to be a ford at about the height of the stone Fulda bridge, which was built in 1899. There is documentary evidence of shipping traffic from Bremen on the Weser and Fulda to Hersfeld via Mecklar.
