You can't call the Holzbachtal with its aging houses and factory halls pretty, but it has charm. The narrow, lightly traveled road is a great cycling route, only a bit steeper once right at the top.

In the surrounding forests there are also many beautiful gravel paths, but some are quite uneven or full of larger stones. That's why you appreciate a smooth stretch of road like this, especially since the traffic is moderate.

I find it nicer to ride than the ascent running next to it directly from Malsch. Much less traffic, good surface. Mostly very steep, but relatively consistent. If you find your rhythm, it's quite doable. Nevertheless, it's a nice feeling when you've completed the first 1.5 km and passed the steepness warning sign.
