Let yourself drift down the K77, roll gently downhill for almost 7 km, pedal slowly and enjoy the beautiful valley. definitely recommended, no matter what bike you use.

On Saturdays from 2 p.m. you can watch the daring jumps of the motorcyclists up close. Watching is fun and costs nothing. The motocross track is located directly on the cycle path through the Brölbach valley
