I rode it yesterday and it was fun.



Once you're off the road at the beginning, it becomes quite pleasant.



The route, especially the first part, is also rideable with a hardtail mountain bike, which shouldn't deter anyone from riding it with a gravel bike.



It's a gravel tour in the truest sense and not a route for road bikes.

April 13, 2024, GRAVEL-TOUR "3D - DÜNNWALD, DHÜNN UND DOMBLICKE" ☀️

Nice tour, found here: https://www.dasbergische.de/tour/gravel-tour-3d-duennwald-dhuenn-und-domblicke

Beautiful and varied tour. Fantastic views of the Cologne Bay in good weather, little main street. The Runfe will be driven again... 😀 By the way - the ice cream flavor pistachio / marzipan ☝️ in the Odenthal ice cream parlor is definitely worth a visit!!! We didn't try the photographed French fries machine 🍟 in Reuterstraße 🤔

Great route, lots of gravel and forest, great variety, beautiful views. Lots of headwind on the way back - luckily downhill.
