Best attractions and places to see in Kaufunger Wald

  • The most popular attractions is Werra cycle route and weir…

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.

For everyone who wants to get married: The Bilstein is officially considered a branch of the Großalmerode registry office! Information on this can be found at the registry office in the Großalmerode city administration

Here in the rustic cottage you can take a good rest. The friendly landlord explains the surrounding mountains and views and he serves hearty home cooking.

A document dated February 2nd, 1881 shows that the hiker was already being offered hospitality. The hosted refuge is one of the oldest of its kind in the German-speaking area and has survived all this time almost unchanged and undamaged!

Wonderful river landscape; the tour usually runs directly along the Werra ... well worth seeing.
