The ascent road from Mühlhausen im Täle up to Drackenstein is almost a forgotten insider tip. In the past, the route by road bike was a real torture – littered with patches and potholes. Since the construction of the S21 Filstalbrücke bridge, at least the lower part has been freshly asphalted. The upper section is unfortunately still in poor condition, so caution is advised on the descent, as it can become dangerous there. However, the potholes hardly interfere with the ascent. What makes the route particularly attractive: You have almost peace and quiet here, as it is rarely used.

A bit boring for a mountain biker, but there are much better options in the area. It's more geared toward gravel bikers, geared for speed.
