    Certainly not that easy to reach by racing bike, this view of the Frechen quartz sand pit is a worthwhile goal. You look into a varied sand pit, which is sometimes reminiscent of a lunar landscape and sometimes a mini nature park.

    Agree: getting there on a racing bike is not easy. The forest paths are a bit rough and relatively loose. I would generally recommend 28mm+, and perhaps a bit of tread to add some grip.
