Hesse cycle path network

Bicycle signpost with route pictograms

The state of Hesse has an extensive tourist cycle path network. In addition to the local cycle paths, there are a number of national themed routes and a large number of regional themed routes, which mainly serve to promote tourism. Hesse is also criss-crossed by long-distance cycle paths across Germany and Europe .

General signage

The signs in Hessen are made on white signposts with green letters. If necessary, the pictograms of the themed cycle paths are attached to these signs.

List of national themed cycle routes

This is the alphabetical list of long -distance cycle routes in Hesse that essentially meet the minimum criteria of the General German Bicycle Club and can be found in the Hesse cycle route planner . In addition to the names of the paths, the two endpoints of the route as well as the length and the Hessian areas are given. If the route goes beyond the state border, the route in Hesse is listed in brackets. If a Wikipedia article is not yet available, a link to the short description in the Hesse cycle route planner will be created as an alternative.
