The Neideck castle ruins are also beautiful to look at from below. Unfortunately, there is no path suitable for racing bikes that leads to the top. Definitely worthwhile on foot or by mountain bike. Great view.

It was another nice joint tour, @Heinz.
The temperatures were indeed higher than on our last gravel tour with snow and ice on the paths, but it can get even better!😉 Maybe on our next road bike ride.👍 Then stopping for refreshments will be even more fun!
