On weekends, the old railway line from Freudenberg to Wildenburg station is only partially suitable for racing cyclists, who show little to no consideration for families with children (and, for example, with bicycles). In some sections, gravel (Little Tyrol) lies in the curves. One should also pay attention to the bollards there. Furthermore, anyone looking for examples of—let's say—a less than optimal use of taxpayers' money will find them on this cycle path. Large sections are enclosed by a fence, the purpose and necessity of which remain a mystery to me.

There used to be infrastructure there; it would be nice if it were still there.

Great asphalt, pleasant incline, and tranquil nature. A dream come true.

A busy Sieg crossing on the L333. Watch out for traffic. In the curve is the Hotel & Gasthof Schützenhof, with a lovely terrace and good, home-style food. At the corner opposite, take the dreamy Bitzer Straße (road bike path) and climb to Käsberg/Obenroth, bypassing the Eitorf town center and then into the Mühleiper Valley. Perfect asphalt. On the Scheel Sick (Halfter side), after 50 meters towards Herchen, there's a connection to the Siegradweg on the right. For those who like a more challenging ride, cross the paved road here and take a gentle climb up to Richardshohn. Or turn left to cross into the perfectly paved Ottersbacher Valley to the Bröltal. Or use the Scheel Sick to roll via Lützgenauel to Merten.

Stromberg's idyllic oak grove, several hundred years old, is a natural monument, canoe landing, swimming area, and a bridge with a view of the Swan's Nest. It was the scene of a skirmish between Napoleonic soldiers and local freedom fighters. Climbing the Sieghöhe hill, you'll reach the ring wall from the time of Franconian expansion. A paved cycle and pedestrian path runs through the center. Bells are provided for the often large number of visitors. Beautiful benches provide rest.

An idyllic Siegauen section of the Siegradweg between Hoppengarten and Dattenfeld, no bridge, no railway. It's a good alternative to the two long straight stretches of the L333 (the speed limit is often 70 km/h there 😁) before Dattenfeld. A bell on the bike for pedestrian information is a good idea.

Very easy to drive route, gives a little peace after many ups and downs

Mainly motorcyclists on the road
