Rail Bike Adventure Eichsfeld
A truly unique riding experience: pedal along old railway tracks through the Eichsfeld – past forests, meadows and through impressive brick-vaulted tunnels. Ideal for families, couples and groups.
On disused railway lines in the Eichsfeld, you can experience the landscape from a completely different perspective: by rail bike (draisine). These converted bicycles on rails follow the old track beds through the gentle rolling hills of the region.
The highlight of every tour is the historic brick-vaulted tunnels – old railway tunnels that are now illuminated and open to visitors. The dim light, cool breeze and long tunnel passages leave a lasting impression.
The rail bikes typically seat two to four people and are easy to operate – no special fitness or prior experience required. Children can ride along and enjoy a journey that feels like stepping back in time.
Routes vary in length and can be chosen according to your fitness and interests. Starting points generally have parking and small refreshment options.
Unser Tipp
Book the rail bikes in advance – especially on weekends and during school holidays, the popular spots fill up quickly. Allow some extra time to pause at the tunnel exits and take in the views.
