Great climb with some views towards Bad Hersfeld before entering the forest. Asphalted at the start, then a good forest path on 30mm GP5000. Before the last few meters are asphalted again, it is a little rougher, but still easy to ride. The descent towards Kuspis is then completely asphalted again. No car traffic at all!... read more

Great climb with some views towards Bad Hersfeld before entering the forest. Asphalted at the start, then a good forest path on 30mm GP5000.

Toller Anstieg mit einigen Ausblicken Richtung Bad Hersfeld, bevor es in den Wald hineingeht. Am Anfang asphaltiert, dann auch auf 30mm GP5000 gut fahrbarer Waldweg. Bevor die letzten Meter wieder asphaltiert sind ist es etwas gröber, aber noch gut fahrbar. Die Abfahrt Richtung Kuspis ist dann wieder vollständig asphaltiert. Keinerlei Autoverkehr!
