Rotkäppchenland railroad cycle path near Riebelsdorf

Highlight • Cycleway

On the entire route from Treysa to Oberaula-Wahlshausen a very nice to drive paved bike path. The constantly slight incline is also very easy for children and older people to master.

May 1, 2025,Bahntrassenradweg Hessen kürzere Variante mit Unterkünften - Tag 1: Treysa nach Oberaula

Kicking off after a nearly six-hour train ride along the Hessian Railway Cycle Route in glorious weather and a relaxing route. It continues like this for three days. Unspoilt nature and beautiful towns. A cycling mini-break at its finest.

the railway line from Treysa was opened on June 1st, 1907 and was the addition from Bad Hersfeld to Oberaula which was opened on May 1st, 1906. 😊

The section from Oberaula to Treysa, which was part of the Bad Hersfeld route, was not closed until 1995. The other parts were already history by then

Today's tour we started in Oberaula at the former train station. We cycled along the Little Red Riding Hood bike path in the direction of Ziegenhain. We wanted to have lunch at the "Hungry Wolf" in Neukirchen - the beer garden, as we had to acknowledge, has unfortunately been closed for some time. So continue to Zella, to the Bechtel …

Today I rode the Little Red Riding Hood Cycle Path from Oberaula to Treysa, with a short detour to Ziegenhain. The cycle path is in good condition and well signposted. This railway cycle path is the best I've ridden in recent years. The pictures show a beautiful landscape, and I really liked the many shady sections, which are very welcome …

I have to get rid of one.
It's about the railing of the railway cycle path. It was described as ugly and useless. I find it very sad to have such an attitude. The railing is neither useless nor ugly, and certainly not without reason at some corners of the track cycle path. I've often thought about how often someone …
