Tour Tips
 

R2 circular hiking trail Hohe Buche

• Length: 15 km

• Duration: 5 hours

• Ascent: 410 m

• Descent: 410 m

Far out into the city. This circular hike takes you past the dreaded witches' lime tree on Höberück, which rightly bears its name “Schau-ins-Land-Hütte”. Behind the hut, picturesque valley views of the small village of Mündershausen open up. Immerse yourself in the dense, green forests on your hike until you reach the intermediate destination of the tour, the “Hohe Buche”. This stopover was once an important junction on the former trade route. On the way back, you walk along the babbling Mündersbach stream back to Rotenburg. 


 

 

R5 Storchensee walking trail

 

• Length 6 km

• Duration: 1.5 hours

• Ascent: 10 m

• Descent: 10 m

An excursion to the romantic Storchensee lake. 

This leisurely walk takes you along the R5 through the Rotenburg Fulda valley, past fields and meadows to the Storchensee. Linger by the lake or take a short break for the way back. We will be happy to prepare a suitable packed lunch or picnic basket for you on request. As soon as you enter the so-called new town of the historic old town through the Brotgasse, a magical view opens up of the collegiate church of St. Maria and Elisabeth, embedded in the many colorful half-timbered houses. 


 

 

R6 Alheimer circular trail

• Length: 12 km

• Duration: 4 hours

• Ascent: 280 m

• Descent: 280 m

Forest lovers in particular will go into raptures here. The circular hike takes you past the Weißes Kreuz memorial, the Katzenkopfhäuschen and the Rodenberg castle ruins to the very top of the Alheimer Turmem viewing platform. Enjoy the changing forest panorama along this route, breathe in the fresh air and recharge your batteries for everyday life. Gaze into the distance from the Alheim Tower and marvel at the magnificent view over the entire Middle Fulda Valley and the Stölzing Mountains.
