You start at the source of the Diemel near Willingen-Usseln. The first section of the cycle route takes you through the scenic upland mountain landscape. The Diemelsee offers numerous opportunities for an interesting stop. Marsberg's historic old town, the idyllic Orpe valley with its many mills and hammers near Diemelstadt-Wrexen, and the Hanseatic city of Warburg are the next highlights on the route.

Three quarters of the Diemel cycle path are already behind you when you have the opportunity to dive into the Muschelkalk Sea in Liebenau. In Trendelburg, the climb to Trendelburg is worth the effort—the reward: a beautiful view over the Diemel valley! By the way, there is some evidence that this is the place where Rapunzel let down her hair.

Before you reach the baroque town of Bad Karlshafen, you pass through the historic Carlsbahn tunnel (202 m) and have the opportunity to visit the Wülmersen water castle. The unique architecture of Bad Karlshafen provides a splendid conclusion to your bike tour along the Diemel cycle path. In Bad Karlshafen, you can continue your bike tour on the Fulda cycle path / R1 to the Eder cycle path.
