Rastatt Castle and the old town are highly recommended. The peace treaty during the War of the Spanish Succession was signed here in 1714.

Sufficiently wide cycle path with very few obstacles, therefore an alternative to the road even on the descent.

An extremely narrow shared pedestrian and bike path runs parallel to the road. Unfortunately, you have to use both sides, which can be problematic when there's oncoming traffic. As soon as someone else is on the road, whether on foot or by bike, it gets very narrow. A 2-4% gradient means you can go a bit faster, but unfortunately not enough to be able to cycle on the road without causing a traffic obstruction. Therefore, it's only recommended from Gaggenau up to Michelbach, where you won't be able to go too fast. Once again, a bike path is both a blessing and a curse – there's already a lot of traffic on the road, and you're still happy to be able to get up relatively safely.
