Cycling day trip from Melsungen to Hannoversch Münden

This route takes you from the charming half-timbered town of Melsungen to the historic confluence city of Hannoversch Münden—a real treat for cyclists who love riverside views and a bit of climbing! Expect a scenic 58 km ride, weaving along the Fulda River with a solid 650 meters of ascent, so prepare for some hilly stretches. Most of the route rolls over smooth asphalt or paved cycleways, which makes things comfortable, but there are a couple of gravelly bits to keep you on your toes.

Departing Melsungen, famous for its medieval bridge and fairytale looks, you'll pass through quiet countryside and lush river valleys. The ride continues mostly on dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads, making it safe and enjoyable. As you reach Hannoversch Münden, keep an eye out for the old town—it's where the Werra and Fulda rivers meet to form the Weser, and the timber-framed houses here are picture-perfect. Grab a riverside coffee and celebrate a classic north Hessian cycling adventure!
