Fritz-Wunderlich Cycle Path

Requirement: Like all cycle paths on railway tracks, the Fritz-Wunderlich Cycle Path has no significant inclines, although the entire route rises gently towards Freisen. The path is suitable for everyone, and due to its particularly safe design, it is also suitable for families with children (between the town limits of Kusel and the railway route end before Freisen there are no crossings with road traffic!).

For our bike tours we recommend the following equipment as standard:

- Wearing a helmet

- Weather-appropriate clothing

- Sun and rain protection

- Sufficient supply of food and drinks, as not everywhere there are catering or shopping facilities available or open.

- Even though the paths are very well marked throughout, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable

   cycling map, so that in cases like thunderstorms or emergencies you can quickly find a safe area.

General rules:

Especially in autumn, attention must be paid that leaves lying on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the way. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can break off. Especially under adverse weather conditions, natural paths may have muddy and slippery sections. You should expect such path impairments when undertaking a bike tour. If you believe certain sections are not passable for you, you should detour around them.

NOTE:

We strive to announce all closures due to forestry work or hunting societies on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where cycle paths are closed and we might not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or detour, please observe the instructions for your own safety.

The road traffic regulations must be observed!

The route logo shows the happily waving Kusel cyclist and a large red note symbolizing the connection to the Kusel tenor Fritz Wunderlich. In Saarland, the path is marked with a black note.
