July 3, 2023,Fuldaradweg 3/Tag 9 Melsungen nach Bad Hersfeld

The stupid strong wind from the SW is still blowing against us. Today again a lot of idyllic nature and half-timbered town. Via Malsfeld we go to Morschen-Binsförth: Here is the highlight of the day - the Fulda ferry with a difference: with the unique bicycle cable car in Germany we cross the Fulda with our own (arm) muscle power. …

July 11, 2026,Fuldaradweg 2026: Melsungen -> Bad Hersfeld

Today a tour on the Fuldaradweg cycle path. We parked the car at the P&R parking lot in Bad Hersfeld. We then took the train to Melsungen. Advantage, the Regio-Express starts in Bad Hersfeld, so it's still empty, you have time to stow your bikes.
After getting off in Melsungen, we went across the old Fulda bridge into the old …

Day 11 of our Germany tour from Flensburg to Füssen: Melsungen ➡️ Bad Hersfeld

After yesterday's thunderstorms, we started this morning at much lower temperatures.

The route ran along federal and country roads more often today, but was still easy to ride. The cycle paths directly along the Fulda and through the countryside were also great again.

May 14, 2025,III. Etappe Fuldaradweg von Bad Hersfeld nach Melsungen

We set off from Bad Hersfeld in glorious sunshine and were quickly on the railway line and thus back in nature. Today, the landscape was diverse, from very wide valleys to wooded areas. Often, we were very close to the banks of the Fulda. We could smell many scents and sounds of nature. From chattering storks, toad concerts, cuckoo calls, …
