Discover the region

Neu-Eichenberg is located about 20 kilometres north of Kassel in the centre of Germany. The municipality consists of three districts: Eichenberg, Fürstenhagen and Netra. It is surrounded by a picturesque landscape - green forests alternate with rolling hills and provide a breathtaking backdrop for hiking or cycling tours.

The most important sights are Fürstenhagen Castle, an impressive 18th century building with magnificent gardens; the ruins of Netra Castle. Century with beautiful gardens; the ruins of Netra Castle on a mountain spur above the village; as well as the Protestant Church of St. Martini in Eichenberg with its striking tower.

Cultural highlights are the annual village festival in summer as well as various concerts and theatre performances in Fürstenhagen Castle. If it rains, we recommend a visit to the local history museum in Netra or a tasting of regional specialities such as Ahle Wurscht (smoked raw ham) or apple wine over a cosy dinner.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Neu-Eichenberg offers many opportunities for hiking, cycling or fishing on the Werra or Fulda rivers. The best time to enjoy these activities is in spring and summer.

If you want to see the most beautiful panorama of Neu-Eichenberg, we recommend a visit to the lookout tower on the Hohe Meißner - the highest elevation in northern Hesse. From here you have a breathtaking view over the region and can let your eyes wander all the way to the Harz Mountains.

Overall, Neu-Eichenberg is a destination with a lot of charm and history as well as a wonderful natural setting. A visit is always worthwhile!

    Bis Neu-Eichenberg für meinen Geschmack etwas zu viel Asphalt, danach sehr schön! Ich empfehle allerdings, nach Lindewerra noch bis Werleshausen am östlichen Ufer der Werra entlang zu laufen, das ist schöner. Am Ortseingang von Werleshausen gibt es dann noch eine Brücke.

    An sich schöne und landschaftlich reizvolle Tour. Den Abzweig an der Elleröder Straße hinter Hedemünden dringend überarbeiten, die eingezeichnete Route führt in eine Sackgasse. Hier ist ein Fahrradweg ausgeschildert, diesem folgen. Auch dass die Route hinter Witzenhausen nicht weiter an der Werra entlangführt, sondern einen eigentlich unnötigen Schlenker auf schlechten Wegen macht, wirkt etwas erzwungen um mehr Höhenmeter oder Distanz zu erzielen. Ansonsten wie gesagt schön und mit guten Fernblicken, eine durchaus lohnende Tour.
