Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Super nice, varied and quite demanding. In between pushing and carrying is announced (S3-S4) at about 300 meters. Pity for all E-Mtb drivers. Still worth it. Nice rest areas, great rock formations and beautiful trails.

So...I won't be riding this entire route anymore....I don't need to push and carry an e-bike steeply up for many meters. Possibly suitable for light organic MTB, or for hikers.
Otherwise nice area with great viewpoints..

3 times Nideggen up is enough to put your feet up for the rest of the Sunday 🥱😊

Today the climbs are deliberately short but tough.
Of the four, the Quellenweg to the youth hostel in Nideggen is the most difficult because the ground is very gravel.
Unfortunately, I had such a breakdown behind Brandenberg that I had to get someone to pick me up 😬
