Quick ride by bicycle from Petersberg to Fulda

Kick off your ride in Petersberg, a charming little town just east of Fulda—well-known as a peaceful suburb with great views over the Fulda valley. The route is breezy and beginner-friendly, rolling mostly downhill with only a short climb at the start, so you’ll get to enjoy more coasting than sweating. You’ll cover just under 10 km, making this a perfect quick trip, with nearly all of it on smooth pavement or asphalt and a few stretches of classic German paving stones to keep things interesting.

Most of the ride follows quiet roads and peaceful paths, keeping traffic stress to a minimum. The scenery is classic Hesse: lush greenery, neat fields, and glimpses of Fulda’s skyline as you approach.

Once you reach Fulda, take time to check out the impressive Fulda Cathedral and scenic baroque old town—this city is packed with history and great café spots. You’ll barely notice the descent as you roll into town, making this route both fun and relaxing.
