Delicious short and steep singletrack just outside the village. You can easily skip it, but it's much more fun to tackle it if you like a challenge.

Most of the bridges could be used for the cycle path, so cyclists and hikers have a green route with little gradient available. Only in Rhumspringe does the official route lead through the town – the most beautiful, but undeveloped viaduct on the route is left to one side.
