Starting point at Eberstadt train station, steep ascent to Frankenstein Castle, the wonderful backdrop and view as a reward. 😎 Then downhill at will, my variant is more moderate. Then comfortably east around Darmstadt with many small highlights. And finally, step on the gas again on the bicycle highway between Erzhausen and Egelsbach 😀
