Die Oberweide bei Breungeshain

Ascent to Hoherodskopf

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Suitable ascent for intensive training on the mountain. At the beginning moderate in waves, from Breungeshain it gets constantly steep and tough.

View of Hoherodskopf Summit and Telecommunications Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

After a great descent from the Hoherodskopf (almost 400 meters in altitude in about 12 km) a last look at the summit.

The descent is completely visible except for 2 crossings, no curve brings a surprise.
Today I reached a top of 72km / h on the descent with a light headwind,
that fully compensates for the drudgery.

Highlight • Summit

The Hoherodskopf is "the" highlight and therefore a "must" for every racing cyclist in the Vogelsberg district.

Former Ilbeshausen Station

Highlight • Structure

The former Oberwaldbahn and the volcanic bike path that runs on it today (part of the BahnRadweg Hessen) goes around Dort Ilbeshausen in a 180 degree bend. The former train station, which is used privately today, is located on the northern leg.

Ascent to Herchenhainer Höhe near Siechenhausen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The climb is really steep. The first half has a good 14% gradient with a dead straight road. Then it continues in the upper single digits before you can look forward to the descent.
