Patershausen Monastery and Organic Farm
Highlight β’ Historical Site
The Benedictines managed the Patershausen monastery: they cleared the land, made the soil fertile, built the monastery buildings and the church "Beatae Et Perpetue Virginis Marie". As a branch church, the Patershausen monastery was responsible for the villages of Heusenstamm, Renigishausen, Obertshausen and probably also Richolfshausen; the mother church was Dietzenbach. In addition to the Patershausen branch, this also included Ippingshausen, Hartingshofen and Messenhausen.
The monastery existed until the first half of the 13th century, when it was bought and dissolved by Ulrich I of Hagen-MΓΌnzenberg. In 1252, Ulrich II bequeathed it to his sister Lucardis, who was now the first abbess to lead the Cistercian monastery "Corona Virginum". Having become wealthy through donations, the monastery housed over 50 nuns in its heyday around 1300 and received income from around 50 farms and estates and over 200 villages. The Reformation brought about its dissolution in 1556.

Alpine Bend on Radheimer Berg
Highlight (Segment) β’ Climb
It begins very slowly, shortly after the tranquil town of Radheim. The only way to tell at first that it's going slightly uphill is to look at the speedometer. The first time I even thought I'd gotten a flat tire.
What can hardly be seen with the naked eye quickly leads to a beautiful and winding S-curve - the already mentioned Alpenkehre - with a maximum of a little over 10%. Once you have conquered this, you can take a breather on the short plateau for a few turns of the crank before, after the right-hand bend, you continue up a long ramp with an average of 6-9%.
If you have also mastered this, the most relaxed section of the Radheimer ramp follows. The area only accounts for 4% and feels almost like a flat stage after the previous gradient percentages, before it gets a little steeper again in the upper, shady part.
Anyone who, like me, is often on the hunt for a new personal best should put "all-in" in all areas of this highlight and put a lot of pressure on the chain. π₯
To mention would be the bad and repaired asphalt. On the way up, it is less important than on the rapid descent into the valley. Those on the way down should always drive with foresight when looking for the ideal line and keep an eye on ruts and the many cracks in the asphalt.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit to this highlight when it says again: "The Return of the Radheimer Ramp" βπ»π

Highlight (Segment) β’ Viewpoint
Until the road disappears in the forest you have a wonderful view towards Spessart and Taunus!
The gradient is moderate, only in the forest there is a small ramp with an approx. 8% gradient.
Nice to combine with the highlight "Querfeldein! π½πΎπΏ" from Raibach.
