Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is accessible with public transport.

Again and again surprisingly exhausting. Do not stop in the curve;)

Scenic Road Along the Elm

Highlight • Cycleway

very nice route between Samtleben and Ampleben with the best asphalt and a dream with a tailwind. Very bumpy route with little traffic.

Elm-Lappwald Scenic Descent

Highlight • Trail

great descent on the best asphalt and over 70 are possible; out of the forest you have to watch out for side winds

View of the Tiefenbach Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always beautiful. Should be avoided on Sundays and public holidays, as many motorcyclists confuse this section with a race track.

End of the Elm Half-Mountain Bike Week. The weather held up. A strong westerly wind, and it was about to start raining in Erkerode...quickly, or as quickly as possible, I cycled back into the sunshine. Finally, not so much clothing on...phew🥵. It was fun, but in the end, it was enough 😉💪🫡⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️🚲

Today the climbs in the Elm (road) departed. Schöningen, Lelm, Ampleben, Sambleben, Lutter & Reitlingstal...Most beautiful cycling weather if you didn't have to ride in the wind. Rollercoaster feeling in the Elm...was really bock!
