A 30 km ride from Bensheim. The route leads over nice trails past the Alsbacher Castle to the Melibokus. The rapid descent from the Auerbacher Castle to the Fürstenlager. After the climb to the Fürstenlage, it goes over to Schönberg and then the final trail takes you to the starting point in Bensheim.

There is only one thing to do, just keep driving and discover “new” paths.
I promptly found one that unfortunately ended in a dead …
