Twiste - cycle path
through the Twiste Valley from Korbach to Volkmarsen (44km) This bike tour always leads along the river Twiste and the Lake Twiste with a detour to Bad Arolsen with its imposing Residence CastleIt is a quiet, little used cycle path – but scenically very attractive with some highlight. There are two stronger climbs, once between Berndorf and Twiste and between Twistesee and Bad Arolsen. At the Twistesee you can also shorten and skip out Bad Arolsen, however this baroque town is worth seeing - and anyone who leaves it out misses what. Very nice is the part through the Bicketal from Bad-Arolsen-OT-Helsen to the fish farm. Attention! If you want to skip the steep climb between Berndorf and Twiste, you will travel between Berndorf and Twiste on the newly built cycle path along the B252, which is not so beautiful. From Volkmarsen to Warburg (Twiste estuary in Diemel), the railway line is closed, which is why it is recommended to finish the tour in Volkmarsen. At the end of the tour, the very good (!) ice cream café Venezia is waiting in the centre. via train back to Korbach (free of charge with MeineCardPlus ) Google Maps Route history HEREShow more
