Descent from Schloßborn to Ehlhalten

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Completely new asphalt since August 2019. Perfect road surface for a fast descent with some soft curves. Is also good to drive as a climb.

Ascent to Kleiner Feldberg

Highlight • Climb

A beautiful, winding, but not exactly rhythmic climb from the Red Cross to the Feldberg. Traffic is light during the week. The gradient averages about 6%, with short sections reaching 13%.

Whether up or down, this section is simply enjoyable.

Final ascent to the summit of the Großer Feldberg

Highlight • Climb

Final spurt!!! From here you're almost there. Shortly after the sign you can either turn right and plunge into the descent, or you can turn left and climb the last steep meters up to the Feldberg Plateau.

Ascent from Rotes Kreuz to the Feldberg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

First curve behind the Red Cross on the way to Feldberg. When there are not many motorcyclists, it is wonderfully quiet and the fresh air is fantastic.

May 18, 2025,Großer Feldberg und eiskalte Finger ❄️

Today, we rode from Niedernhausen to the Feldberg in cold and windy weather.

You really have to be careful with your clothing. On the descent, my fingers were so cold that gripping the brakes became a bit of a challenge!!!

But the elevation gain will be needed for the next big tour 😎😇
