The Fulda (IPA: [ˈfʊlda]) is a river in Hesse, Germany. It is one of two headstreams of the Weser (the other one being the Werra). The Fulda River is 218 km in length.
The source is located at Wasserkuppe in the Rhön mountains. From here it runs northeast surrounded by the Knüll mountains in the west and the Seulings Forest in the east. Near Bebra it changes the direction to the northwest. After joined by the Eder river it flows straight north until Kassel and changes dircection to the northeast, with the Kaufunger forrest east and the beginning of the Rheinhards Forest northwest. It finally meets the Werra in Hann. Münden, where both the Fulda and the Werra form the Weser river.
