Along the Igelbach stream, you come up to Loffenau. The Kurpark is still on paved paths. Then later there is a section of solid gravel. Uphill and in good weather, the surface for racing bikes is OK. Those who put up with the gravel will be rewarded with a lot of peace and green nature.

The recommendation is for the idyllic, tranquil landscape.
The route itself, however, is a flop for me: The paved section is pretty dilapidated, and the gravel section is more reminiscent of a pebble beach on Lake Constance than Strade Bianche. You keep slipping on the loose, rough surface, and I was glad when I finally completed this section. I certainly wouldn't go downhill here. So you have to weigh up whether you're willing to put up with that.

Unfortunately, in dry weather, the gravel in the middle section is quite loose, lacking a binding agent.
If that doesn't scare you, you'll find a beautiful side valley of the Murg with plenty of shady trees here—I really appreciate that, especially on hot summer days!
