Vom Fuldatal ins Haunetal und an den Rand der Rhön

At the start, the route climbs noticeably on a quiet asphalt road up to just below the Mengshäuser Kuppe. Here follows a short unpaved section, which can also be passed with a road bike. Then there is a descent to Kruspis. With gentle undulations, we reach Holzheim. Next is a stronger descent into the Haune valley to Neukirchen. Here a winding road twists up to Oberstoppel on the edge of the Rhön and the Hessian Kegelspiel. On a side route, it slopes slightly down to Steinbach. We pass through the town and follow the L3380 to Rothenkirchen. Shortly before, we join the B 27 and follow the old B 27 to the 'Sennhütte'. Here we follow the busy road for a few meters before turning left onto the ascent to Wehrda. Now we enjoy low car traffic again. Before entering the town, we pass Schloss Wehrda, which is privately owned. Across open fields, we gently climb through the villages of Schletzenrod and Wetzlos. Here, a particularly strong headwind can make progress difficult. After Wetzlos, the road rises slightly again before descending at 8% into the Fulda valley. At the entrance to Solms, we turn immediately right to the destination Mengshausen. A few kilometers remain, mostly flat, along the edge of the Fulda back to the starting point.
