コルンベルクの峠・トップ5

Unfortunately, the rest area here is not really usable, as it has seen better days - at least for now.

The asphalted descent, county road 50, leads from Erkshausen over a pass, southwest ascent, up to the Schwarzer Stock (409 m) and further towards Rittershain. The Hessian long-distance cycle route 5 leads from the opposite direction up to the Schwarzer Stock pass and then branches off into the forest (on very poor ground) and down into the Haseltal. However, it is recommended to use the less busy and better county road 50 for the ascent and descent!

Unfortunately it's a bit old and you can't sit comfortably here anymore.

Small rest area along the way.

Beautiful view down to Reichenbach and the Meißner mountains. Good and easy descent from here down to Reichenbach.

Exhausting but beautiful. Not too much traffic.

The road between Rockensüß and Haselgrund was built in 1845. Allegedly financed by Hermann Freiherr von Biedenfeld at Schloss Rittershain. He was in military service at the time, including Wing adjutant and after his officer title, the street was called "Adjutantenstrasse".

The steepest ascent to the Dankeröder Höhe with 12% is from the direction of Dankerode. The route from Gehau is also decent 😅 In the direction of Herlefeld you go first long at the height and then rapidly into the valley 💨
