    Very impressive route. But also for the experienced rider. You will be driving along magnificent views, over rocks and tree roots. A lot of long climbs and short steep roads going downwards.

    Schöne Cross Country Runde die von allem etwas dabei hat. Ein wenig weniger Waldautobahnen wären toll u bestimmt möglich gewesen. Es gibt eine Abfahrt die S2 ist. Verblockt aber gut fahrbar. Sonst Trails mit vielen Wurzeln, auch im Anstieg. Landschaftlich wirklich schön. Bin immer wieder überrascht was in B alles für MTB Fahrer umgesetzt wird. Da ist D ganz weit von entfernt.

    Arriving by train in the morning in Troisvierges, you can reach Aachen in one day with the racing bike. Aachen has lot’s of hotels to spend the night. Perfect tour, strongly recommanded. Best regards, Arne
