Information

Directions

From Willingen, the route leads through the Aarbachtal valley to Schwalefeld and from here to Rattlar with an asphalt ascent just before the village. The route then descends over a ridge into the Diemel valley to Hemmighausen and through the fields to Eimelrod. From here, the route takes us over the mountain to Neerdar through Bömighausen and on to Welleringhausen. A small challenge awaits before the Osterkopf. Nevertheless, the view over Usseln to the Kasseler Berg makes up for every kilometer uphill. A forest trail then leads through Diemeltal to Strycktal. The route takes you back through the Strycktal valley to the Willingen tourist information office. A beautiful day trip around Willingen ends here.

Equipment

We recommend a helmet, functional cycling clothing suitable for the weather, a rucksack with food and drink, sufficient fluids (water, tea), an air pump, a repair kit and a multi-tool.

Author Tip

The center of Willingen offers you numerous restaurants, bars and cafés after your tour.
