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.

Today I was out and about with the Rhönklub Neuhof in Fulda. We hiked the Bonifatiusstieg. We started at Frauenberg Monastery. Past the Calvary, Horas Cemetery, Bonifatius Church, Tränke, Hauptwache and Cathedral, we went back along the Pauluspromenade to the parking lot. On this very beautiful tour you can see why Fulda is so beautiful.

From here into the depression between Frauenberg and Kalvarienberg to make a detour to the crucifixion group on the Kalvarienberg. You can safely go up the 96 steps on a small asphalt path back down to …

August 11, 2021,Bonifatiusstieg - Erkundung 3

So, today I closed the last gap (except for the alternative route over the Kalvarienberg). However, it was too hot for the entire route - and my condition wasn't good enough.

The information boards have not yet been set up in three places: Cathedral, Bonifatius Monument and Park der Stille / Alter Horaser Friedhof.

July 8, 2021,Bonifatiusstieg

The new, but not yet officially released tour is an easy hike on the Bonifatiusstieg. Information boards at ten different stations point out significant events, whereby the stations "Bonifatiusdenkmal" and "Park der Ruhe" at Horas cemetery are not yet completed. Path markings are also not yet attached. But very well suited for a contemplative hike with local knowledge far away …
