Highlight • Historical Site

There is a lot to discover for all ages. An otherwise "dead" area has been beautifully rebuilt here and now everyone has something of it.

Now not only easy to reach through the forest. Believe it or not, the bike path on the road was expanded in Sep / Oct 2021 - great!

Please avoid the area near Merchweiler, all year round, only swampy and ransacked by wild boars.

Showing my home trails to our bike gang has been a long time coming. Today it was time, spontaneously agreed yesterday, I could at least show Jürgen and Steffi the best trails around the Itzeblitzer. The rest of the squad will be on at a different time 😅.
I hope you liked it. I found it a fun tour, mixed …

Tour around Itzenplitzer Weiher, many single trails and a highlight at the Halde Reden climbed two levels with an incline of approx. 25% 🙂.
Departure from the Götterborn heap at 65 km/h. Unfortunately, pedestrians were on the way, otherwise faster.😆
