Trail Reviews

Wolfgang
October 2, 2021, Bonifatiusstieg Planung

Out of a total of 11 information boards, only 9 have been created. The route is not yet available either. Nevertheless, the tour is worthwhile because it allows unusual views of the city and its surroundings. The information boards are enlightening. The historical recordings are particularly helpful. The tour starts well at the Bonifatius Monument, the planned 10th stop.

A tour in the footsteps of Boniface with information boards. Information material is available at tourismus-fulda.de. There are various refreshment stops along the way, the FLORA KLOSTERCAFÉ on the Frauenberg is recommended.

A tour in the footsteps of Bonifatius: The Bonifatiusstieg. I was actually already on my way home after a 👚👕🩳👖👟 day of shopping (that was also due again 😀) so I thought why already home, this way is just right, start at 6:30 p.m. below the Frauenberg. He was beautiful! I got to know a completely different Fulda and looked at this very well-known city with tourist eyes. On the way there were many information boards with historical insights, but somehow there are no signposts at all, I snuck the round from Bernd55 KMW... 😊
