Seelenberg–Schmitten Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It hurts a bit, everything that you have climbed up to Seelenberg has to go down again, especially if you want to continue on the big Feldberg, but it is really a very good descent!

June 15, 2025,RTF Giro Hattersheim am Main / 2025 💯 GF#57

I actually wanted to run the marathon, but things turned out differently. I had to abandon the race or take a shortcut after the first checkpoint due to extremely heavy rain accompanied by lightning and thunder.
I didn't feel like doing a second Bimbach.

A superb tour with decent elevation gain and stunning scenery.
Since the Giro Hattersheim was canceled for me, we did a slightly modified version of the tour today. It's impressive 😇😉😎

Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, we rode Tour 2 of tomorrow's Giro today. Partly in the opposite direction, as we could then stop for a break in Vockenhausen after 70 km. From Esch, we followed the signs to Heftrich. A truly beautiful loop in a fantastic landscape.
