Castles and climbs

Distance
56.2 km
Elevation
691 m
Difficulty
easy

This loop takes you along some fairytales castles and through some quiet valleys. You'll see Burg Hohenstein perched just above you – if you're up for a challenge, try to ride up to it. The castle can be visited. Same goes for the castle in Burgschwalbach, which is remarkably well preserved. If you want to see it from up close, you'll find yourself on a steep slope. Should you be happy with just looking at the castles from the valleys, you're in for a joy ride.
