June 17, 2025,Tag 2 - von Schlitz nach Rotenburg/Fulda

...and we continue on day 2:
From beautiful Schlitz, we cycled at a brisk pace to the Fulda. However, we didn't notice much of the confluence of the Schlitz and the Fulda.

We spent our lunch break in Bad Hersfeld with rolls, Pffferbeißer (pepper-bread cookies), fresh sweet cherries, and later a cappuccino.

We were ready to leave at 8:30 a.m. The sun was still hiding behind clouds of fog. It was cold and unfortunately it was unmistakable that summer was coming to an end and autumn was knocking on the door.

With pleasant bike tour weather ⛅, the second stage took us via the Fulda cycle path R1 to the castle town of Schlitz.

Very good cycle paths with good signage. Gently rolling landscapes with wide valleys make cycling a pleasure. The initially relatively small Fulda River quickly expands with large streams and smaller rivers.
It's worth cycling through the spa gardens in Bad Hersfeld and tasting the healing waters, as well as visiting the festival venue in the church ruins.
Upon entering Rothenburg …
