Tips from the Community

NikkeBerger
May 26, 2026, Descent from Hessenthaler Höhe to Oberbessenbach

Super ascent or descent. The gradient percentages stay in the moderate range with a maximum of 8% and the asphalt is quite okay to ride on. In summer, you have to be a bit careful with the play of shadows caused by the sunlight filtering through the treetops. Here and there, you might otherwise overlook a small pothole in the asphalt or a crack/longitudinal joint in the road surface.
