Quiet, low-traffic connecting road from Rauenstein to Mengersgereuth. It rolls along quite wavy with partly beautiful far views through the country.

Going downhill towards Theuern, it rolls almost without pedaling and braking. Uphill towards Limbach, the changing gradients will probably make for somewhat uneven pedaling. Asphalt is okay so far, although there are some potholes in places due to the winter months.

It is probably not something you can admire very often and is well preserved;
