Werra cycle route and weir in Hann. Münden

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Not just any path directly on the river, but it's the WERRA long-distance cycle path (also Rosentalweg) and it's beautiful! Not as busy as the neighboring Fuldaradweg.
The path remains flat for the most part and stretches along the Werra.

View of Hann. Münden’s Old Town

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Hann. Münden, Fulda and Werra unite to form the Weser. A beautiful little town and the starting point of the Weser cycle path. Absolutely worth it.

Historic Old Town of Hann. Münden

Highlight • Historical Site

When you are out and about on the Weser, Fulda or Werra, there is no way around Hannoversch Münden! And that's just as well!

View of the Fuldaschleife

Highlight • Viewpoint

Riding along the Fulda cycle path was a joy - there are plenty of bridges to get to the other side. The Fulda meanders along and there are many cosy places to stop. Highly recommended.

April 8, 2026,E-Bike Rundtour: Fulda, Werra & Weser an einem Tag

With blue skies and sunshine, I cycled through Kassel along the Fulda to the town of three rivers, Hann. Münden.
After a pleasant break at the Weserstein, I headed home along the Werra in the light of the setting sun.
Cycling along the river is always beautiful!

Relatively relaxed, 10 years ago we were practically alone, now you have to watch out for the e-bikers. The paths are great, quite narrow and lots of users. Probably wrong time. In Witzenhausen we had a spontaneous overnight stay next to the brewery. Schinkels and Mother Holle

By train to Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe. From Kassel on the Fulda cycle path to Hann. Münden and on the Werratalweg to Witzenhausen. Both cycle paths were a pleasure and you meet one or two people you have already met on the route again at the campsite.
Let's keep it up.

🖐️ Spontaneous tour. Set off alone today and much too late. Supposedly without any particular destination. First ended up in HMÜ via the beautiful Werra cycle path and then on the equally beautiful Fulda cycle path over the Wahnhausen barrage to my old home in Kassel-B. After a visit to the cemetery there, which was probably the destination of the …

Blue sky, bright sunshine...
The tour led through the Kaufunger Forest to Kassel. From Unterneustadt we cycled along the Fulda cycle path to Bonaforth. From the lock we went uphill a few meters to the cattle shed. The boss served us personally in the beer garden and we enjoyed it 😋. Then we went through the Münden Nature Park to …

Yes, that's right. We cycled the Umschwang ⛰️ by bike 🚴🏻🚴🏾‍♀️. 😉😂 Many, many years ago, we cycled once by bike 🚴🏾‍♀️ from Witzenhausen over the Umschwang to Kassel. After rigorously avoiding the route for decades due to the extremely unfriendly traffic (cars, trucks, motorcycles), we seized the opportunity today, June 21, 2025. The road from Kleinalmerode over the Umschwang …

The plan was to cycle "to Kassel" via the Umschwang and take the train back. Then, in Heiligenrode, the plan changed. Let's cycle home via the Wahnhausen barrage and the HMÜ (with an ice cream or coffee break), they said. No sooner said than done. So, just like two weeks ago, when we missed a short section of the cycle …
