Road cycling
Wonderful race track, also for cars and especially motorcycles. Due to the wide lane, this is usually ok. However, the asphalt is no longer the best. So it's better to have both hands on the handlebars when going downhill. Halfway up the ascent/descent is the Rußigmühle, which includes a guesthouse and a restaurant.

I cannot recommend the uphill ride. The incline is so moderate and never really steep, so that there is hardly any joy when driving uphill. I only did it once. It will never happen again.
