Technical description

This route is not difficult. Approximately 50% of the route is on good, rolling tracks and the rest on tarmac roads.

Access to the first pass, Eck DE-BW-0420a, requires a short push.

As with most routes in the Black Forest, there are often some fairly steep slopes to contend with.
