Cycle path between Oberdieten and Simmersbach

Here it is very important in which direction you take this route. If you drive from Simmersbach to Oberdieten, you can be out and about quickly thanks to the slight gradient. In the opposite direction, however, it looks quite different.

A reservoir on the hiking trail is always a highlight. For the first time I saw the Perfstausee from the Endenberg and then in peace and quiet from the lake restaurant. Recommended.

At the beginning, there was a strong headwind. Later, a tailwind and a constant up and down. It was chilly, but I was still drenched in sweat.

From Biedenkopf back home after gathering food. Complete cycle paths except for crossing the main road - I ended up in the thicket. Tour as well so not recommended.
