The Kinzig Valley between Gelnhausen and Schlüchtern is, apart from a few short sections, a natural cycle route. I always enjoy cycling it.

From Fulda to Bad Soden on the R3 cycle path. Unfortunately, there were some sections with loose, rocky ground. Almost not suitable for normal bikes. Nevertheless, a nice, varied tour. Then we went back by train.
