It is located in the middle of the forest and in the fog it looks almost spooky

I can only join HPS54, the descent towards Maria Veen is long and the speed can get enormously high 😅🫣

Drive through former military area and a shortcut from Hülsten to Lavesum. You need power on the bike and a strong drive!!! Neat climb(s), but also nice jagged descents up to 60 km/h 😳

Since 1985 there has been a monument to the "Heath poet" on the highest point of the Hünsberg. The memorial dates from 1928 and originally stood on the summit of neighboring Langenberg. The summit fell victim to a sand excavation for the production of sand-lime brick.
