The 93-kilometre Volcano cycle route takes you along the former railway of the Oberwaldbahn. With its fine asphalt, it offers the perfect conditions for leisure cyclists, inline skaters and skateboarders. From its highest point in Hartmannshain (where it meets the Südbahn cycle route), you can head downhill in the direction of Schlitz or Altenstadt. Expansive views across meadows alternate with sections through light forests. Meanwhile, cafés and museums in the timber-framed towns will offer you a well-earned break. The Vogelsberg Vulkan Express runs from May to October. www.vulkanradweg.de
