Bench with a view of Sättelstädt

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bench on the former Autobahn on Hörselsberg. Nice view down to Sättelstädt, rocky ascent up to Hörselsberg possible, cycling up the narrow path is not recommended, better to go down.

October 17, 2024,Bad Tabarz - Großer Hörselberg mit dem E-Bike

Today we did our planned first test tour with our recently purchased e-bikes after having to abandon the tour yesterday due to a defect in the electrical gears on my (Thomas) bike after 3km and about 400m of elevation gain with a gradient of 16% in some places.
