Willingen - Schwalefeld - Rattlar - Hemmighausen - Eimelrod - Neerdar - Bömighausen - Welleringhausen - Usseln - Willingen

There are rarely any long climbs on this route, but the constant ups and downs add up to almost a thousand meters in altitude and make the tour quite challenging.

Information

Directions

From Willingen, the route leads through the Aarbachtal valley to Schwalefeld and from here to Rattlar with an asphalt ascent just before the village. The route then descends over a ridge into the Diemeltal valley to Hemmighausen and through the fields to Eimelrod. From here, the route takes us over the mountain to Neerdar through Bömighausen and on past Welleringhausen. A small challenge awaits before the Osterkopf. Nevertheless, the view over Usseln to the Kasseler Berg makes up for every kilometer uphill. A forest trail then leads through Diemeltal to Strycktal. The route takes you through the Strycktal back to the Willingen tourist information office. A beautiful day trip around Willingen ends here.

Equipment

We recommend a helmet, functional, weather-appropriate cycling clothing, backpack food, sufficient fluids (water, tea), air pump, repair kit and multi-tool.

Author Tip

The center of Willingen offers you numerous restaurants, bars and cafés after your tour.
