May 6, 2023,Gelbachtal – Blick auf Malberg Runde von Dernbach/Ww

The tour was average; the first half of the route to Montabaur wasn't quite as nice to drive 🥴; the subsequent ice 🍨 made up for it a bit. The second half of the tour went through Gelbbachtal, which was very nice. Technically, the route is in parts very in need of improvement 🙄
