Nature reserves, a regional network of cycling routes, and guided tours focusing on history and sights give your trip through Wetterau a range of possible themes. You can explore nature, outdoor activities and culture, and decide first which theme you want to shape your stay.
Experience nature and understand the landscape
The nature reserves in the Wetterau district are accessible to visitors via information boards, observation points, and hiking and cycling routes. This offers several options: you can find out more from the boards, use the observation points as places to watch nature, and explore the areas on foot or by bike.
One specific landscape feature is the Bingenheimer Ried. It is one of the key areas of the “Auenverbund Wetterau” landscape conservation area. This gives you different points of reference when planning your time in nature: the visitor access facilities in the Wetterau district’s nature reserves, and Bingenheimer Ried as part of a landscape conservation area.
Plan cycling routes and your journey
A network of regional and long-distance cycling routes runs through Wetterau, with many routes connected to one another. You therefore do not need to base your route planning on a single cycling path. Your choice of route depends on which paths you would like to include in your trip.
Numerous train stations and stops make it possible to reach cycling routes in the Wetterau district by local public transport. If you are planning a cycling trip that includes train travel, check the timetable and stops in advance. Connections and stopping patterns may change.
Regional history and guided tours
The Wetterau Museum presents the history of the town and region from the Stone Age to the Early Middle Ages, as well as the history of the Celts and Romans. It is also a regional Limes information centre for central Wetterau. This means that when exploring regional history, you can consider both a broad span of time and the subject of the Limes.
Guided activities also offer a range of different themes. In Wetterau, discovery tours include night-watchman walks through old streets and themed tours of local sights. The towns and municipalities also offer a wide choice of themed guided tours. Individual tour dates vary; check that the available dates fit your travel period.
Regional food and finding a hotel
Wetterauer Landgenuss is an association of restaurateurs, producers and direct marketers from Wetterau. If you would like to include regional food or produce in your stay, the association can be a useful starting point for planning your trip. Membership and participating businesses may change, so check current participation before planning a specific visit.
When looking for somewhere to stay, you can start with your interests: cycling routes, nature conservation, regional history, guided tours or regional food each suggest a different direction. First decide what you want to shape your stay, then look for hotels in Wetterau. Check what is available in your chosen location and plan around the specific options.
