By chance, on the way back from Tegernsee, we discovered Cuxhagen. A small town on the Fulda River with a historical background.

We go on the right side of the Fulda towards Büchenwerra, cross the Fulda there and go back to Guxhagen on the other side.
With the beautiful weather, many cyclists are out and about and you have to be extremely careful.
It was a nice round with lovely people.

February 19, 2022,Mönchspfad - Von Büchenwerra nach Guxhagen und zurück

Nice hike with dear friends 😍! We actually wanted to hike over the Wildsberg, but because of the storm we changed our plans and preferred to walk along the Fulda. The Mönchspfad themed hiking trail starts at Speckenplatz in Büchenwerra and initially follows the Fulda cycle route R1 to Guxhagen. A visit to the monastery in Breitenau is worthwhile. The …

On the way back from Stuttgart to the state of Hadeln, we stopped again at the Fulda near Büchenwerra. Also urgently needed after heavy rain and traffic jams. After a picnic at the rest area at the Fulda Bridge, we went on an evening tour. This time in the direction of Guxhagen and Breitenau. There were beautiful views, a chicken …
