Challenging gravel route over the forest-rich Hochwald heights and through the Mediterranean-like Ruwer valley.
Strong cyclists will find more than enough views and elevation meters on the 55 kilometer route through the Hochwald holiday region and over the Rösterkopf.
Author’s recommendation
In Bonerath it is worth stopping at the parking lot at the end of Hochwaldstraße, from where you can take a view of the dam and into the Ruwer valley.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
