    Schöne und abwechslungsreiche Runde. Los gehts mit einigen Landstraßen, dann Übergang auf Radwege, wo man ordentlich fix voran kommt. Zum Ende dann noch mal wirkliche Gravel Passagen mit Feld- und Waldwegen.

    Eine abwechslungsreiche und teilweise herausfordernde Tour - Herzlichen Dank an den Autor! Als Info für den Streckenabschnitt Hinrichstein: Ich bin die Strecke mit einem Yakun tour E-Bike mit Schwalbe Marathon Bereifung gefahren. Schwierig aber machbar. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert.
