This path is only closed to cars on Sundays and public holidays. During the week, cars can drive from Ober Hambach to Schannenbach. A beautiful - but initially steep - route through the forest on asphalt. Pleasant in summer. There is no evacuation in winter.

Due to the dense treetops and the play of light and shadow, having your headlights switched on is not a disadvantage on the fast descent towards Heppenheim, as there is oncoming traffic during the week and some potholes tempt you to stay in the middle of the road.
