Great bike path between Ebensfeld and Unterleiterbach on the former B 173. The entrance via the roundabout near Ebensfeld isn't ideal in my opinion. That's why I always drive through the roundabout with cars and only then onto the bike path. The bike path is better in the other direction. Further west, there's a nice right/left chicane to keep you from falling asleep. 😊
