The climb from Königswinter to the Margarethenhöhe is terrible because of the heavy traffic. However, if you turn right at the intersection at the traffic lights it suddenly becomes wonderfully quiet and you cycle into a nature reserve. After a few houses you cycle through a wooded area, after which you are treated to a nice view across a meadow to the Gasthof Löwenberg. Until then, the road surface is excellent. From the Gasthof the path is further suitable only for gravel bikes and MTBs.... read more

De klim vanaf Königswinter naar de Margarethenhöhe is verschrikkelijk vanwege het drukke verkeer. Als je bij het kruispunt bij de verkeerslichten rechtsaf slaat wordt het echter ineens heerlijk rustige en fiets je een natuurgebied in. Na een paar huizen fiets je door een bosrijke omgeving, waarna je getrakteerd wordt op ene mooi uitzicht over een weide naar de Gasthof Löwenberg. Het wegdek is tot dan uitstekend. Vanaf het Gasthof is het pad verder alleen geschikt voor gravelbikes en MTB's.

Nice climb out of the valley. Over a relatively busy motorway though

Lekkere klim uit het dal. Wel over een relatief drukke autoweg
