Was pretty tiring. Up to the Hoherodskopf almost only on forest, meadows and gravel paths. Shortly before the turning point for 2 to 3 km on single trail. Then up to Ilbeshausen forest paths and single trail. Had to push the bike from time to time and lift it over fallen trees. Then home via the Bahnradweg.
