Entrance to the Ulstertal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Ulster Valley Cycle Path, one of the railway lines in Hesse that has been developed into a cycle path. It is a special pleasure to follow it, first on a nice and flat path to the Kuppenrhön and becoming ever steeper over Tann and Hilders and on the final climb up to the Ulsterquelle in the Hohe Rhön. The culmination of such a tour could then be the Wasserkuppe. From up there you have - with appropriate visibility - a wonderful overview of the route traveled.
