April 25, 2023,Streckencheck MTB 2 Rennsteig-Region West

As part of our "Frankenwald cycling experience concept" project, which aims to make the Franconian Forest more eventful for cyclists, we are looking at the somewhat outdated Bad Steben bike network and the mountain bike routes.

Here are a few impressions from our route check ;)
