In the meantime, there are some very deep potholes.... So be careful, especially when you are in a group. Otherwise, it remains a super nice side route.

Sure, the road surface is pretty bad, but the scenery more than makes up for it...a wonderful back road!

The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. Mark (usually called St. Mark's Church for short) in Erlangen is a city-defining post-war modernist church building with stylistic echoes of traditional Franconian sacred architecture. Named after the Evangelist Mark, the church is now a listed building. The St. Mark's congregation is now made up of around 4,300 Protestant Christians in the east of Erlangen, as well as in Buckenhof and Spardorf.[1] The previously nameless square in front of the church has been called St. Mark's Square since 2018.
