The Aabachtalsperre can be easily circumnavigated on a well-paved path suitable for racing bikes. There are no significant elevation gains, but there are a few sharp bends to master. There are a few comfortable rest areas along the circuit, often with an idyllic view of the dam.

Asphalted farm highway with up and down through the wind turbine park. It's great to drive here with a great view! However, the road may be contaminated due to agricultural use. Still recommendation! 👍

Cool title, I hadn't even seen the sign! At this point it is (according to Komoot) “only” (briefly) 13%. The asphalted farm roads have a good surface and are great to drive! Great view and surroundings on top of that!
