River - Rocks - Views

The starting point of this bicycle tour is the "Reisegarten" car park in Raumland: downstream we get off to a good start here. The route leads straight along the Eder to Arfeld. Once in town, it is worth making a first stop. For here the "Open Cycle Route Church" invites you to a moment of peace and contemplation.

Along the route we pass the Arfeld forge, which is also recommended for a visit due to its interesting history.

The route initially climbs slightly uphill, followed by a short steep section which takes us to the historic Obere Hüttental in Schwarzenau. Here we are rewarded for our efforts with wonderful views.

Rushing down again to Schwarzenau, we pass the Augenstein Via Adrina. After a few kilometres downhill we reach the village centre. The manor house directly at the Eder bridge is the optical centre of attention.

The path leads again towards Arfeld. Once there, we cross the Eder with the help of an original bridge, the "Ziegensteg".

Between Arfeld and Dotzlar we climb the next mountain. However, the sweaty effort is compensated for by the following viewing platform on the Hainbach above Arfeld.

The trail continues to Dotzlar again along a panoramic route. Passing the Dotzlar Culture Hall and the sports field, the path leads to the Eder. There, the last few kilometres wait for us directly by the water until we finally reach the slate village Raumland again.
