View of the ski jump

Highlight • Structure

The driveway to Oberhof is fun: little traffic, lots of nature. And (almost) above you will be rewarded with the view of the ski jump. A little further and you have pedaled at 900m altitude;)

The roundabout marks the pass crossing at the traffic artery near Oberhof between Gotha and Suhl, which is also crossed at this point by the Rennsteig, the 168 km long hiking trail leading along the ridge of the Thuringian Forest.

Winter is not going to happen again. So off we go for the first round in the best weather and crazy temperatures. 0 degrees in the valley, 7 on the mountain. Even though the bike suffered quite a bit from the salty conditions.

The first time in the twilight and then at night on the road bike. All weather variants taken. Warmer above than below. Clear above, fog below. Departure to Zella-Mehlis at -3°C is no fun 🥶
