Fulda River facts for kids

The Fulda River begins high up in the Rhön Mountains. Imagine a tiny spring bubbling up from the ground – that's where this long river starts its journey!

From the Rhön Mountains, the Fulda River flows mostly north. It winds its way through the beautiful Weserbergland hills. Finally, it meets up with the Werra River near a town called Hannoversch Münden. When these two rivers meet, they create the mighty Weser River!
