View of Zotzenbach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Luckily, this long, fast descent to Zotzenbach, where you find yourself here, is not a driving challenge, so you can fully enjoy the really beautiful views as you roll down into the village.

Schlangenweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Schlangenweg is a moderate at the beginning, later neatly steep farm road high on the drom. It ends directly at the restaurant Schardhof at 525 meters.

Trommturm observation tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The modern new building of the tower is very well done. Wide stairs with child safety locks lead up the "ladder to heaven", from which you have a wonderful view. …

September 25, 2022,# T22.95 | Odenwald Trails: GPBO_Rimbach R 1 (S0-S1+). Sehr schön, aber etwas zu viel breite Wege 👍

Tour is part of the GEOPARK Bergstrasse-Odenwald Collection: komoot.de/collection/2055729/-geopark-bergstrasse-odenwald-touren
––––––––––
In direct comparison with the BB1 (komoot.de/tour/933625115)? Fewer trails, felt more wide forest and farm roads and urrgghh...roads (albeit some made of dirt like in Sweden)!

Nevertheless, a nice tour, especially with the weather, definitely varied. Personally, I think the Mb1 is more exciting. And the BB1 is definitely faster …

A bit of trail training today. I took over the route from @Helius FFM. Really no difficult sections, everything was still rideable for me. Today a few more photos of the route, intended as a hint for everyone. I didn't go up the Trommturm again. I have the feeling it is leaning further and further forward....

March 8, 2024,R2D2 🤔 oder Turm und Lost Place 😉

A lost place was on the agenda today.
I wanted to take the drum tower with me on the round.

From Rimbach the route leads comfortably over some official MTB routes.

No, it wasn't R2 and D2. They don't exist 😉
But in sections the R1, Wa1 and Mb1 were there. Everything is enjoyable to drive.
