Climb to Hesselbach via Eutersee

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Here you come on a quiet path from Schöllenbach to Hesselbach. In the first third comes a short steep ramp, otherwise the climb is good to drive.

The road to Hesselbach is closed due to an accident, so we head back and through the Sensbachtal.

The beautiful tour behind Strümpfelbrunn was initially cut short: due to an unsuitable L524👹 towards Wagenschwend, a downpour and thunderstorm (narrow, heavy traffic, trucks...). Then it was better to head back through the legendary Höllgrund. The climb to Krähberg was again in a downpour and a personal best time.
