    Tips

    November 16, 2022

    Update (08/23): The tarmac is in pretty bad shape. On the way down, you should watch out for the big potholes.

    Wonderful race track, also for cars and especially motorcycles. Due to the wide lane, this is usually ok. However, the asphalt is no longer the best. So it's better to have both hands on the handlebars when going downhill. Halfway up the ascent/descent is the Rußigmühle, which includes a guesthouse and a restaurant.

        Wide street, down the Polenz valley. Part of the old "Großdeutschlandring". At the end you have to decide which climb to take: either in the direction of Bastei and Hocksteinschenke or in the direction of Hohnstein.
        I cannot recommend the uphill ride. The incline is so moderate and never really steep, so that there is hardly any joy when driving uphill. I only did it once. It will never happen again.
