Unfortunately, some sections of the cycle path are filled with a lot of gravel, so you have to be careful not to slip.

Thanks for that. A new bike path connects Niedergrenzebach with Obergrenzebach. I hope more will follow.

At 392 m (NN) there is a covered table and bench combination. Where the name "rest area Cameroon" comes from....no idea! In any case, you have a fantastic view of the Sendberg, the Igelsheide to Treysa, the peaks of the Kellerwald, the Altenburg up to the Habichtswald.
