Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

In Hann. Münden you should plan a detour to the Tillyschanze or the Weserliedanlage to catch a wonderful view of the town from above. This way you also get your body used to the upcoming climbs.

The most beautiful and varied stage is the route from Bad Sooden-Allendorf via Rothestein Castle and the Hörne to Hitzelrode. This part is also affectionately known as Hessian Switzerland.
