Hösbach Sand station.

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.

The station building at Hösbach station was not built at the same time as the Hösbach station itself. In the early years, the trains of the "Bavarian Ludwig Western Railway" stopped, so to speak, in the middle of an open field.
