Main Werra Radweg

The cycle path runs through the undulating Main triangle, an interesting landscape. Where possible, it follows the valleys (Werntal, Maintal, Lauertal, Streutal) and thus travels on a flat route. When the path leaves the valleys, gentle and moderate gradients must be overcome. The route connects the lovely Main valley with the foothills of the Rhön and the Thuringian Forest. The route is signposted and suitable for experienced cyclists. Large parts of the route run away from road traffic. The surface is asphalted or finely graveled (forest paths). Time and again, you have to detour onto lightly trafficked roads without cycle paths.
