CITY CYCLING 2024

From 8 to 28 June 2024, cycling enthusiasts from 20 towns and municipalities and under the umbrella of the district can once again put their pedals to the metal - and cover as many kilometres as possible by bike. Anyone can cycle. Be it on the way to training or work, for shopping or in your free time in Waldeck-Frankenberg's beautiful natural landscape - every kilometre counts in the competition.

This year, CITY CYCLING is being organised to mark the 50th anniversary of the district! At the kick-off event on Saturday, 8 June, people from the north and south will come together in the centre of our district: True to the motto "Lion meets Star". There will be two guided cycle tours on this day. The destination is the boundary stone museum in Herzhausen, where there will be an opportunity to meet up. A small snack will be provided.

The flyer for the anniversary trip contains many suggestions for rediscovering the district. Whether landscape, culture or events: The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg has so much to offer 365 days a year.

"Lion meets star" on 8 June

As part of CITY CYCLING 2024, two guided cycle tours will take place in the district on Saturday, 8 June under the motto "Lion meets star" to the Waldeck-Frankenberg boundary stone museum in Herzhausen am Edersee. Whether leisurely cyclists, families or e-bikers: the routes are planned so that everyone can join in. There is a meeting point in Korbach and Frankenberg from where you can join the two free tours, which take place in all weathers.

The meeting point in Korbach is the district hall at Südring 2 at 10.45 am. The tour, led by the head of the district, takes about an hour and leads around 14 kilometres to Herzhausen.
