Cycling day trip from Eschwege to Hannoversch Münden

This scenic ride kicks off in Eschwege, a charming old town nestled along the Werra River, known for its medieval half-timbered houses and lively town square. From there, you’ll pedal around 60 km through the rolling hills and peaceful river valleys that characterize northern Hesse.

The route is a pleasant mix: about two-thirds are smooth asphalt or paved stretches, perfect for picking up a good rhythm. You’ll encounter a few unpaved and gravel portions, mostly on quiet tracks and forest paths—nothing too wild, just enough to keep things interesting! Be ready for a bit of climbing (about 640 meters up), followed by more downhills as you approach your destination.

The journey wraps up in Hannoversch Münden, famed for its beautifully preserved medieval old town, where the Fulda and Werra rivers meet to form the Weser. The town’s picturesque bridges and historic buildings make a lovely backdrop for the perfect post-ride coffee or cake. This route truly delivers a taste of central Germany’s peaceful landscapes and storied towns—enjoy the ride!
