Actually a very beautiful route to the Wasserkuppe. However, you can expect a lot of traffic all year round, especially in the warmer months. Otherwise it is very easy to drive on a good road surface.... read more

Eigentlich eine sehr schöne Strecke auf die Wasserkuppe. Ganzjährig und insbesondere in den warmen Monaten ist aber mit sehr viel Verkehr zu rechnen. Ansonsten sehr gut zu fahren mit gutem Straßenbelag.
