The road from the Förcher Kreisel to Ebersteinburg is still closed. You can get through the village or the construction site by bike. You should take advantage of it and ride up while it's still closed and there are no cars.

Highly recommended at the moment: Ebersteinburg town center closed due to construction (May 2025)! Therefore, very few cars! (Ask Google Maps if you can get through by car)

It's always worth heading over to France and exploring new routes. :) There are some very good bike paths there. I occasionally cycle to the neighboring country. :)
