On the Hessian Long-Distance Cycle Route R4<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1692170124402{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1693255545647{margin-top: 17px !important;}”][vc_column_text]From Bad Vilbel, the Hessian long-distance cycle route R4 offers various interesting, moderately difficult day tours along a consistently well-signposted route towards the Main Valley and the Odenwald. The length of the route can be chosen individually. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Bad Vilbel to the Odenwald<\/h4>\n

The route leads to the pretty half-timbered towns of Babenhausen (49 km), Gro\u00df-Umstadt (65 km) or, as more challenging tours, up to Veste Otzberg (72 km) or even through the Odenwald to the charming Neckar Valley to Hirschhorn (133 km).<\/p>\n

The starting point for all cycle tours is possible anywhere along the Nidda within the Bad Vilbel city area.<\/p>\n

Marked throughout with the green “R4″ sign, most of the route runs along low-traffic, quiet, and secluded paved cycle paths and farm tracks.<\/p>\n

There are rail connections in Babenhausen, Gro\u00df-Umstadt and Hirschhorn, each via the Odenwald Railway (RB\/RE 85 and RB 82) to Frankfurt Central Station and then onwards on line S6 back to Bad Vilbel. All trains allow free bicycle transport.<\/p>\n

Continue cycling through the Main Valley<\/h4>\n

After crossing the Main on the Rumpenheim ferry, you can alternatively switch to the Main Cycle Route and continue cycling to the well worth seeing Seligenstadt (41 km), as well as to Franconian Aschaffenburg with its impressive palace (59 km).<\/p>\n

All routes and rail connections are also possible in the opposite direction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space hide_on_mobile=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3637″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ accent_color=”#706f6f”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1692226847396{margin-top: 130px !important;}”][vc_column]\n\t\t\t
