The route starts in the town centre of Fehl-Ritzhausen on the Nister cycle path, which you follow to the junction to Neustadt. You continue over a hill to Hellenhahn-Schellenberg and downhill on forest paths to Rennerod. On the Westerwald loop Rennerod is again left on the climb. You continue on a railway track cycle path to Rehe. The following 3.5 km to Fuchskaute also steadily climb, passing Homberg and through several wind turbine locations. At the summit the Fuchskaute offers a rest area. The return journey starts with a long descent via Willingen to Stein-Neukirch, where there is another climb. The remaining section via Salzburg and Hof to Fehl-Ritzhausen mostly rolls by itself.
Along the way:
• Food and drink options in Rennerod
• Before Rehe: detour to the Krombachtalsperre dam
• Town hall in Rehe - half-timbered house from the early 18th century
• Fuchskaute: recreation break in the nature conservation area
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
