Road Cycling Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by 41 out of 46 road cyclists
Location: Liebenburg, Goslar, Harz Mountains, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The L500 is the connecting road between Liebenburg and Othfresen. Coming from either side, the driver expects an increase of 5% to the highest point. There the limestone soil typical of the Salzgitter ridge becomes visible. There is an easily navigable cycle path along the road.

Steep but manageable ascent that is rewarded with a decent descent.

Due to the narrowing at the top of the "summit" and the resulting poor visibility for drivers, it's not a very nice passage. Alternatively, there is the cycle path, which you would actually like to avoid because it is difficult to get back onto the road during the descent. The gradient is doable from both sides, it is easier coming from Othfresen.
