Shortly before the cross, the chapel path goes right down to Weinähr. Unfortunately not suitable for MTB riders; because very very steep and narrow serpentines. I tried the first few meters but failed miserably and pushed my bike up again :-(

18.50 € for an overnight stay in a large converted farmhouse, with much effort and diligent helpers of the home club. One sleeps "like grandma" and who can not remember his childhood and felt at home in grandma's house with many old furniture and oddities! Gossip a bit with Ellen, a great woman who initiated the whole thing. Incidentally, her husband also bakes sourdough bread, which I have noticed as a way to eat! Like to take the shuttle service. It's just wonderful to meet so much kindness and disinterestedness. Dear Ellen Many thanks for the "Hunzeler Schmunzelstein" I was (in hindsight) far too fast away again.

Neglected for years. Tried again on April 4th, 2025. Gave up and pushed the bike back up 50 meters of elevation gain. Impassable, even with a regular bike. No way. Such a shame... who can be contacted to do something about it? According to the municipality, it's privately owned.

Very nice route along the water. There is a rest area with benches at Jammertal. There are generally a few places to sit. You have to expect muddy terrain.

Also easy to reach on horseback, the path from Winden (with a few deposits) or halfway along the Gelbach valley from Dies / Eschenau is very beautiful.

Idyllically located mill with restoration in the Gelbach Valley. Away from the main hustle and bustle, cozy... note opening times!
