Kneipp Spa Triangle Cycle Route
Bad Vilbel, Bad Nauheim, and Bad Salzhausen—three traditional spa towns—form the Wetterau Kneipp Spa Triangle. In the spirit of Sebastian Kneipp, the region invites you to experience everything that does you good in a holistic and active way.
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.
Drinking fountains, wading pools, herb gardens, scented benches, barefoot paths, a nature experience garden, and opportunities for inhalation and slowing down line the path. You can easily explore them with both a classic “bio-bike” and an e-bike. And it’s not about speed, but about enjoying and experiencing the journey.
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 Nidda 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.
