This route consists of two loops which can be done separatly. But we decided to eat the whole enchilada in one go. The southern loop is shorter, but has a steeper climb, so both of them are comparable in the effort it takes, to pass them. If you start at with the southern loop first, you can take a break

This path has history to show! The Rennweg is documented as a courier and messenger path and avoids most settlements as a ridgeway. This offers picturesque views of the wide valleys and fairy-tale castles. Gravel pleasure at its best! Make sure to stack up on your refreshments, since the route crosses

Enter the kingdom of gravel. This Graveltour connects the Haßberge with the Itzgrund by paved and gravel roads. Each climb is its own reward but on top of that you'll recieve the scenic views of historical castles and palaces, prospects, that were previously reserved for kings and queens.

The five star gravel route connects the five communities of the northern Steiger-Forrest. Apart from one climb to the Zabelstein hill, the track is feasible for most gravel athletes.
The route runs off the beaten tracks separated from the major traffic. Natural beauty and old town romanticism alternate along the route.

Work and travel? Wine and gravel! Okay, enough with the puns. We visited the Abt Degen Wine Valley, we were promised wine, we recieved wine. But first we had to grow our thirst on this 70 km long tour around several small villages, before we could quench it.

Our friend and local guide showed us around the Haßberge Nature Park. Follow our tracks to discover some hidden gems, you would otherwise miss. Starting at Köslau, prepare for one major ascent at the halfway mark to the top of the Bramberg. Once on the the top, the rest of the route is smooth sailing.
