Scenic Ascent in Naturpark Elm-Lappwald

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Relatively even increase with a maximum of 7-8% section with a length of approx. 100m, from the edge of the forest. If you find a good rhythm, you can climb the ramp smoothly 😁

View of the Tiefenbach Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always beautiful. Should be avoided on Sundays and public holidays, as many motorcyclists confuse this section with a race track.

After I had a bad cough for over a week and had to neglect my two bikes, Boris was really happy that he could come along on the short trip.
