A really beautiful route and the 14% climb isn't so bad when you then have the great descent on a wonderful cycle path.

From the outside, at first glance, you wouldn't think it's an inn, at least not one that's still in operation—but it's apparently open from 6 p.m. on some days (which days? There are varying reports on this). The building, dating from the early 19th century, is listed as a historic monument in Lauf an der Pegnitz.
