Impeccable surface, sufficient width for oncoming traffic.

Be careful on the descent! There are three tricky-to-predict rain gutters across the road. Without brakes, the wheels will be shot to pieces.

A very beautiful, ancient church. However, services in winter are a challenge... 😮😉 very cold.

In Elleben, especially the Baroque village church from 1729 is worth seeing. A winged altar by Valentin Lendenstreich from 1498 and twelve apostles adorn this church. The first interior renovation dates back to 1884. The lunar window from 1436, a circularly decorated church window, is still the attraction today (Wikipedia).
