Ich bin nur die Teilstrecke von Fuldabrück bis nach Hann. Münden geradelt. In diesem Bereich ist es eine nette, flussnahe Strecke mit relativ wenig Gastronomie an der Strecke. Diese findet man jedoch ausreichend in Hann. Münden.

Eine wirklich schöne Tour mit tollen Landschaften und Ortschaften. Und er geht wirklich an der Werra lang. Tipp: In Creuzburg den alten Radweg rechts der Werra nehmen. Ist idyllischer und schöneren Blick auf die Felswände. Von Ifta zurück sollte man nicht die Wiesnwege nehmen, sondern den etwas längeren Weg auf Wirtschaftswegen, denn über die Wiese ist es doch etwas beschwerlich.

Sehr schön und abwechslungsreich. Sind allerdings erst ab Hörschel gestartet und haben so etwas abgekürzt. Unterwegs viele Stellen, an denen man rasten kann.
