Starting in Buttlar, the route runs along the former Oechsenbahn. This was used to transport mining products and was shut down in 1952. Thus, the first ten kilometers on the bike path are paved and pleasant to ride despite the continuous slight increase. You ride through the beautiful low mountain range landscape of the Thuringian Rhön.
The section of the cycle path that runs on the former railway line ends in Oechsen. From here the path leads up to the Emberghütte. From there you have an unbelievable view of the Felda Valley, into which the cycle path then leads. When driving downhill, attentive and careful driving is required. A short time later you reach the destination of the cycle path, the town of Dermbach.
The connection between the Feldatal Cycle Path and the Rhön Cycle Path is possible through the Emberg Cycle Path, which enables great circular tours.
Safety information
The tourist paths of the Rhön are mostly used by other active people (hikers, mountain bikers, cyclists, walkers, horse riders, cross-country skiers, etc.).We ask all active nature sports enthusiasts to show consideration for one another. Of course, the same applies to nature - it is worth protecting. In the Rhön, nature sports should therefore only be practiced in daylight on designated paths and areas.
