    The Vorgelsberger Südbahnradweg is characterized by a beautiful route and is completely paved. Just the thing for a nice bike ride.

    The cycle path leads from Hartmannshain in the Vogelsberg district in a southerly direction via Birstein and Brachttal to Wächtersbach in the Kinzigtal valley. Today it is part of the Hessen cycle path (Bahnradweg Hessen), see also there for further details.

    Its name comes from the Vogelsberg Southern Railway (Vogelsberger Südbahn), which was decommissioned between 1958 and 1967. Since the former railway line is no longer usable due to many overbuildings and vegetation (nature conservation), the now asphalted route runs almost independently through the landscape. In some sections, downhill stretches (partly over 10%) require safe braking, especially from inline skaters.
