This small stretch between Finkenbach and Olfen, which is closed to motor vehicle traffic, is an absolute insider tip in the area. The gentle gradient is hardly noticeable uphill, but it still rolls great downhill. Only in Olfen is the surface a bit bumpy, but you should slow down here anyway.

This is really a fantastic stretch and I include it in my tours whenever possible. However, I do not recommend driving the route down. Too often there is sand or something similar from the forest in the curves after rain. Very dangerous. I always ride uphill there!
