    Schöner Auftakt im Grund. Knackiger Aufstieg. Nach Frankenberg geht es erst steil hinab, dann nicht der 6 folgen, sondern nach rechts. Eine lange Querung bis die Nr. 6 wieder dazustößt. Schöner Abschluss im Tal.

    Schöne, ruhige Tour, abseits von jeglichem Verkehr. Jederzeit auch gut mit einem Trekkingbike machbar. Wir sind in Heubsch eingestiegen, haben die erste Pause am Magnus-Turm, die zweite in Schederndorf und die letzte auf dem Görauer Anger gemacht. Ideal, weil man dann mit "vollem Bauch" nur noch ein paar Kilometer runterrollen muss.
