The route starts off quite comfortably on broad trails, but then continues on single tracks and includes some tough climbs and rapid descents in the Wolfsbusch. After all that excitement, you can freewheel the final kilometres through the Rohrbusch, once again on broader woodland tracks.
Author’s recommendation
Possibilities to stop off for some refreshment in Montenau or Amel.
