Nice tour with many gradients over mostly unpaved roads and off-grid sections.
The starting point of the round trip is Nettersheim, along the way you have a great view over wide areas. In Blankenheim there are refreshment stops, you pass the source of the Ahr and then you go up to the castle.
The tour is recommended for well-trained bikers …
