A wonderful, varied ascent, mostly on roads that are closed to motorised traffic. The route starts at the bottom in picturesque Niederheimbach with the imposing Heimburg castle. You cycle along the Heimbach to Oberheimbach on roads that are unfortunately very rough in places. After Oberheimbach, the route becomes very idyllic and quiet, as cars are no longer allowed here. Through fields and forests, you reach the Hunsrück plateau and can enjoy beautiful views.
