Diemelradweg

The Diemelradweg takes you 111 kilometers from the Diemelquelle in Willingen-Usseln to its confluence with the Weser in Bad Karlshafen. You follow its course downstream, which is why you can enjoy significantly more descents than climbs. This makes it a beautiful tour for the whole family, which will also look forward to numerous cultural highlights, break opportunities and excellent cycle paths. You can easily master the Diemelradweg on a long weekend in two to three days.

On the way, the varied natural landscape will inspire you. You first drive over the heights of the Waldecker Upland, cycle through the Diemelsee Nature Park, drive through the Sauerland and always enjoy the hilly low mountain range landscape that accompanies you to the mouth of the Diemel in the Weser. Variety is guaranteed: You drive through picturesque valleys, over impressive calcareous grassland and through the idyllic Rheinhardswald. On the way you can always stop in the cozy half-timbered villages, take a look at the historic buildings and strengthen yourself in a café or restaurant. History, culture, nature, lots of fun and relaxation accompany you throughout the tour.

The themed cycle path takes you through mountainous terrain, but tends to run downhill and is mostly family-friendly and flat. There are smaller, crisp intermediate climbs, but they are always richly rewarded. Exciting excursion destinations and entertaining sights along the route are particularly popular with children.
