Kneipp Spa Triangle Cycle Route
A cycling tour from Bad Vilbel that connects three traditional spa towns. Bad Vilbel, Bad Nauheim, and Bad Salzhausen form the Kneipp Spa Triangle Wetterau. True to the spirit of Sebastian Kneipp, the region invites you to experience everything that does you good in a holistic and active way.
Combining cycling and Kneipp treatments
This works very well by bike. Designed as a day trip, this route showcases the highlights of the Kneipp Spa Triangle Cycle Route. Numerous Kneipp facilities along the way invite you to feel the soothing effects of nature.
Not a fast cycling tour, but one to enjoy and experience
Drinking fountains, foot baths, herb gardens, scent benches, barefoot paths, a nature experience garden, or opportunities for inhalation and slowing down – Kneipp facilities line the way. The cycle route can be comfortably experienced with both a classic bike and an e-bike. This excursion is not about speed; here, enjoyment, health, and experience take center stage.
The Volcano Cycle Path largely follows the route of the former Oberwaldbahn, an old railway line that led from Lauterbach over the Vogelsberg mountain range and through the Wetterau region to Frankfurt.
The Regionalpark Route is a unique river experience full of contrasts. It leads through the fields of the Wetterau, one of Germany’s oldest cultural landscapes, to the source in the idyllic Vulkanland Hoher Vogelsberg Nature Park.
The Hohe Straße Regional Park Route follows the historical course of an old trade route and leads through vast landscapes as a ridge-top trail. You quickly feel “far away” and closer to the sky. Spectacular panoramic views open up in all directions, from the settlements in the valley to the Frankfurt skyline and the Ronneburg hills.
The cycling route “Around Bad Vilbel” is a 23-kilometer, easy-to-ride, highly varied circular cycling route with gentle inclines. It touches not only the core city of Bad Vilbel but also all its districts: Dortelweil, Gronau, Heilsberg, and Massenheim. Everywhere there are special features to discover, including nature, water, art, culture, and regional cuisine.
Marked throughout with the green “R4” sign, most of the route runs along low-traffic, quiet, and secluded paved cycle paths and farm tracks.
