The Tour de Chattengau takes us through the basalt hills of northern Hesse, a region with a very special character.

 Many uninhabited, natural areas of the Chattengau belong to the Habichtswald Nature Park.

 This includes the wooded Langenberg between Besse and Metze, which we cross. On our tour we cycle through charming half-timbered villages, quiet forest areas and productive farmland, which has already been settled by the first people who settled in Central Europe.
