Döttesfeld Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Beautiful, natural Wiedtal between Döttesfeld and Oberlahr. The short tunnel leads through a rock and was once part of the Krupp railway line.

Still looking for the best workout under 1 hour. This one could be my favorite. Varied, even with stairs, but not too much of a challenge that takes time. And the Grenzbachtal is just always beautiful.

I decided to hop on my bike and ride a few of my favorite trails.
I parked my bike in the garage and the rain (finally) came.
Have a nice rest of the weekend.
