I ride the RMD Weg very often and love it. Fantastically developed and is to be (according to Mr. Söder) even better developed between Nuremberg and Bamberg in 2026/2027.

The climb from Ebermannstadt is quite a challenge. In town, the road climbs straight up first, then continues in switchbacks, sometimes with gradients up to 14%, if you can trust the signs. Up on the plateau, there are a few more meters of elevation gain to the airport, which are quite a pain. The descent is not easy, with tight turns. Caution is advised here.
