Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great departure for the Aarthal, which is easy to drive. However, if a few true motorcyclists are on the road, you have to be careful that some shave in the corners.

A beautiful tour through nature.
Forests, fields, rivers, castles, and fortresses – a feast for the eyes.
