Fuldabrück is a community of around 9,000 inhabitants in North Hesse South from kassel. It emerged on July 1, 1967 from the voluntary amalgamation of the communities of Dennhausen and Dittershausen; as part of the regional reform in the State of Hesse, the previously independent communities of Bergshausen and Dörnhagen were added on August 1, 1972.

The train station is also directly behind the municipal boundary Baunatal-Rengershausenat which the Lines RT5, R38 and RE98 hold. From the train station it is about a kilometer downhill (or back uphill) to the Fuldabrücker Runde.
By bicycle
The only supraregional cycle route through the municipality Fuldabrück is the Hess. Long-distance cycle route R1 (Fulda cycle route), which runs mostly without inclines through the Fulda valley along the Fulda.
