Schwarzenfels Castle

The detour is worth it. It is best to take the Burgenweg. Then you don't miss anything. But also ride the trails!

July 21, 2024,18. Geröder Droohd-Eseldour 🚴🌤🌲

The 18th Geröder Droohd-Eseldour 🚴
Very well organized event. The route was well signposted, but I wasn't paying attention once and missed the turnoff. I quickly turned around and carried on. There were 2 refreshment stations on the long route, which were enough.

Conclusion: great event that will be included in the calendar for next year.

Today I went to Geroda for the Droohdeseltour, I chose the long route. There were beautiful trails and a decent elevation gain. It was nice that I was able to meet Komootlers from Hesse. The main destinations were the Mottener Haube, Burg Schwarzenfels and the Pilsterköpfe.
