Sunday 12 July – hills again

It was nice to be in the hills again today, after spending so much time cycling along rivers.

From Gemunden we climbed for a few km into the Kellerwald nature area. The first town was Dodenhausen – which looked remarkable normal despite its name.

From here it was a scenic ride with lots of little hill climbs, passing through Haddenberg and Hundsdorf. At Hundsdorf we we turned off onto another road that had lots of downhill curves, some through forest, down to Bad Wildungen. We saw a turn-off to Reinhardshausen along the way.

Then we worked our way through suburban roads, to the river Eder, where we found a bike path into Firtzlar. There we had to negotiate a carnival in full swing, with a fun fair and stalls selling all types of goodies – directly on the bicycle path.

We continued on the bike path – on rural land – all the way to Felsburg, where we turned to the north and made our way along rural roads to Edermunder.

Then we picked up a bike path along the Fulde river into Kassel. It began to drip and then rain as we reached the city. We found our hotel in time to avoid being soaked.
