Schwedenschanze

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent from Arnsberg is tough, especially for our pack mules. However, the descent to Gersfeld is a pleasure - for the eyes as well as for the joy of the speed rush!

July 19, 2025,Rhön Tag 2 mit Höxter Gruppe

Our friends were all totally impressed by the Rhön. And despite having great bikes, they'd never done tours like this before. Even though it was pushing their limits at times, I'm convinced that the two Rhön tours left a lasting impression on everyone. We already have a few tours planned for next year! It was a fantastic weekend for us …
