    First 100 km are difficult with many climbs and very nice lonely gravel roads. Next 100 km is on smooth tarmac, mostly cycling paths and generally flat terrain.

    Super Tour durch das Dreiländereck. Wunderschöne Täler und tolle Landschaft. Die Straßen sind in einem super Zustand. Aktuell gibt es 2-3 kleinere Baustellen, die man aber schiebened passieren kann. Bei der Angabe der Höhenmeter sagt mein Garmin, dass es >2600hm sind. Ich kann die Tour sehr empfehlen, auch wenn sie sehr anspruchsvoll ist.
