Fairytale Snow White Bicycle Loop

The 36-km-long Snow White Cycling Loop takes you past numerous points of interest: Friedrichstein Castle, where Margaretha von Waldeck was born and may have served as the inspiration for the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale, all the way to the old mining town and “Snow White Village” of Bergfreiheit, where you can visit Snow White’s House, the visitor mine, and a gemstone cutting workshop.The loop trail winds through the picturesque landscapes of the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park and offers many beautiful spots along the way to relax and unwind. Notable highlights include the Braunauer Warte observation tower with its magnificent panoramic view and the geologically significant “Bergfreiheiter Welle.” Along the route, you’ll also find several of Bad Wildungen’s healing springs, the natural footbath at the village pond in Armsfeld, and a number of places to stop for refreshments—for example, in Bergfreiheit, Reinhardshausen, Reitzenhagen, or at Friedrichstein Castle.
