Solztalradweg

On the old railway line of the Hersfelder circular path of the light coming from Bad Hersfeld extends Solztalradweg until after Schenklengsfeld. After the cessation of rail traffic on December 31, 1993, the disused route quickly became overgrown . In the summer of 1999 the tracks between Bad Hersfeld and Schenklengsfeld were dismantled. From Schenksolz to Lampertsfeld , the community of Schenklengsfeld provisionally built a section with limestone gravel. In 2003 the route was paved. On October 4th, 2003 the Solztalradweg was inaugurated in Schenksolz. An approximately 1100 meter long section from Malkomes to the Solzbrücke in the village was only completed in summer 2008. For almost five years you had to bypass this via a farm road. Now the Solztal cycle path from Bad Hersfeld train station is paved all the way to Schenklengsfeld. Since it was a former railway line, the gradient of the entire route towards Schenklengsfeld is very low.

It is very popular not only with cyclists, inline skaters and skateboarders, but also with joggers and walkers. You can all enjoy the wonderful nature of the Solztal. The former railway line used is around 15 kilometers long. Between Bad Hersfeld and Schenklengsfeld there are rest stops in Gut Oberrode, Sorga, Malkomes, Schenksolz and Lampertsfeld.

The Solztal Cycle Path is now part of the Hessen Railway Cycle Path . This leads from Hanau on former railway lines about 250 kilometers through the Vogelsberg and the Rhön and ends in Bad Hersfeld.
