Trail composition:
A smooth, dirt-free, glass-splinter-free, gravel-free asphalt surface, perfect conditions for inline skaters too.
Topography
/Degree of Difficulty:
We recommend starting your trip at Schlitz or Lauterbach. The difference in altitude on the way up to Herbstein is not too difficult to master with a little stamina. The higher areas below the Oberwald undulate gently so do not require any effort. A little pedal power is required on the way to Hartmannshain. The long descent from the higher regions into the Wetterau is a totally relaxing, enjoyable experience
