Today I used the Apothekertrail again - there and back. Actually quite well maintained and nice to ride. Only at the exit / entrance at the top - some smaller trees were simply dumped there during tree felling work. Only the easier second entrance is still rideable. A shame.

Wide open views across the gentle agricultural landscape of the Kleiner Odenwald. On a clear day you can see for miles — a refreshing contrast to the wooded valley stretches of the route.

It's a great place to rest, right by the river. But be careful! The underpass is 1.5 meters high.
