The path along the Wieseck lies outside the city park, but is also heavily frequented on weekends.

No idea why a STRAVA mountain challenge is a Komoot highlight?

The most beautiful way to approach Lich. Two landmarks of Lich can be seen at the same time: the city tower and the brewery (And the logistics center only comes into view when you exit the forest)

The road leads from Langsdorf to Nieder-Bessingen (or vice versa), through fields and through the forest. Few cars. And it's simply fun.
