Kassel-Steig

I started according to Hercules in the UNESCO World Heritage Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.

After a short stretch of forest, we went across a cow pasture and then through the forest to the Gasthaus am Silbersee. From there towards the Silbersee, which you can visit with a little additional dangling (but since… Leer más

I started where I left off last: at the train station in Ahnatal-Weimar. After a few meters through the village it goes largely on dirt roads and short forest to Heckerhausen and from there to Mönchehof. The route can be run well without great effort. The only drop of melancholy: you have to walk on… Leer más

It starts at the train station in Mönchehof. After a few meters through the village it goes over meadows and fields only to Vellmar and from there to Rothwesten. Unfortunately there was no forest in between this time, but you will be rewarded with spectacular views at many points. Some historical highlights… Leer más

A great route! It starts in Rothwesten. The first 8 kilometers are a leisurely forest and meadow tour with great viewpoints and a pretty old cemetery as a small highlight.

From the Wahnhausen barrage, however, the route becomes more than demanding. Heavy climbs and rough terrain require good equipment… Leer más

Almost a leisurely walk ...

In contrast to last week on stage 4, this tour does not require any major requirements. I started comfortably in Landwehrhagen. After a few meters through the village, the route leads along forest and field paths that have hardly any height differences to Heiligenrode. Mostly… Leer más

My "fear route". 20, 6 kilometers are already an announcement, but I mastered them brilliantly. 😁

Thankfully, the route started in Heiligenrode today led a lot through forest areas, which of course was great in this weather (sun, 26 ° C). Via Uschlag we went towards Gut Windshausen. Here we run for a… Leer más

It starts in Kaufungen.

Through cute, narrow alleys it goes over cobblestones past pretty old half-timbered houses to the collegiate church. Time seems to be standing still here. Then it goes across meadows and fields through some forest to Vollmarshausen and from there to Wellerode. In itself, the route… Leer más

Definitely the most varied stage so far.

It starts in Dörnhagen. After a few meters through the village you come to Guntershausen via field and meadow paths. In hot weather / sunshine I recommend good sun protection. Next we cross the Fulda over a bridge with a bizarre history (see photo from the board… Leer más

The start is in the pretty village of Wellerode. After a few meters through the village it goes on dirt roads to the forest. Here you come to Lohfelden-Crumbach via a really pretty forest path. Here it goes on for a while in the immediate vicinity of the A7, which puts a damper on the otherwise really… Leer más

You start in big rides at the station. From here it goes first 1.5 kilometers through the village and then to the forest. Here we have quite a bit of climbing on the Burgberg, which is rewarded with a magnificent view. Now it's back down from the mountain. Once at the bottom we walk along the edge of… Leer más

First of all: a good level of fitness and good equipment (especially footwear) are a MUST on this route. We have to deal with some decent climbs and rough terrain, BUT scenic and from the route it is one of the most beautiful (if not THE most beautiful) stages of the Kassel climb.

It starts in Hoof. Here… Leer más

I DID IT!

12 weeks, 12 stages, over 160 kilometers - the Kassel-Steig has been conquered 😁😁😁

About the route: 80% of the route is actually uphill, but with a bit of stamina and good footwear it can still run quite well.

You start at the hiking car park on Brasselsberg and then go through the Dönche Nature… Leer más
