My bike had just been serviced and arrived yesterday from vacation, highly motivated, and I rode steadily over the Pleß and then through the Rhön. You can do it, but it's not necessary for your first ride. Everything hurts, but it was great. 😆🫶

April 22, 2022,Runde auf den Pless - Achtung Tour enthält ein Stück Offroad Berg hoch.

We followed the signpost in pink, but unfortunately the path got worse and worse. Finally we walked the last part to the next halfway paved path, up the mountain a lane. Feasible thanks to the pushing aid on the bike, but still exhausting. Not recommended. Next time more via Schönsee....
