Loop
Idyllic and varied circular route near Poppenhausen, Hesse.
It starts in Poppenhausen. The path leads over the fields steadily up to the aviator memorial. Here you can take a short break and enjoy the beautiful view over the Kuppenröhn and Fulda. It continues over the so-called fairy tale meadow to the summer toboggan run and the climbing forest. The action continues: in the glider museum you can find out more about gliders, paragliders and more. Anyone who has packed swimming trunks can jump into the cool water in the Guckaisee. And if you don't have swimming trunks with you, you can still have fun here. Because canoes and pedal boats can be borrowed.
