Beautiful bike path, good asphalt, and shade almost all the way through. The outdoor pool is also located at this start/end point in Hungen. The outdoor pool is very nice and is still in the process of being modernized.

New in Wölfersheim am See: the "Adventure Minigolf Course"! Across the street, you can also play soccer golf, and there are refreshment stops!
