Converted into a museum, the local history museum is now in the tower. The entire castle complex and the city can be viewed there as a model.

View of Blankenberg from Adscheid

Nice descent / ascent to / from the Siegtal via Adscheid and Stein. very good asphalt above, rougher below, pay attention to the manhole cover when descending. Below it goes sharply right to town Blankenberg (drive carefully)

Ramp to Rütsch

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Lonely road via Rütsch in the direction of Lichtenberg. In between there is a decent ramp with a gradient of more than 15%. Keeping a long story short!
