The Planetenweg (Planetary Path) on the section of the R1 cycle path between Friedlos and Mecklar represents the planets of our solar system on a scale of 2.5 km, indicating their distance from the sun. In 2009, the project was initiated by the working group Sternfreunde Friedwald e. V. Hobby astronomer Kurt Thiede from Ludwigsau-Tann played a significant role in this.

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.

August 11, 2021,Pfordt nach Bebra

This year's bike tour should actually go to Göttingen, along the Fulda cycle path to Hannoversch Gmünd.
Unfortunately, a summer flu, which first raged off with Silke and now also with me, ruined these plans.
After a stressful day dominated by badly marked bike paths, I give up. Even if reluctantly.

The route today was a delight. The scenery was very beautiful, we went along well-marked cycle paths along the river, past …

With pleasant bike tour weather ⛅, the second stage took us via the Fulda cycle path R1 to the castle town of Schlitz.
For the lunch break (and not only for this one 😉) it is worth taking a short detour to the city center of Bad Hersfeld.

August 4, 2021,Fuldaradweg #1: Bad Salzschlirf - Bebra

Today I used the emergency service for bicycles mentioned yesterday because the brakes were worn and the light was broken. However, I went to Schlitz myself.
The man immediately took care of everything and repaired the bike. I can definitely recommend this service, when you call it comes to the scene of the accident up to 120 km away and …
