The former Buir exit is currently the western end of the drivable section of the old route of the A 4 federal motorway. The western section leads directly through the Bürgewald, better known as the Hambach Forest. The gravel road is marked by the clashes between the opponents of coal mining and the police. Nevertheless, the passability is also given with a racing bike, so that one can dare to explore this special place by bike.

Interesting route, but now unfortunately private property.
