Söse Reservoir

Whether by bike or on foot, the Sösetalsperre Dam is always a beautiful place. The paths are easy to cycle, and the many information boards are very informative on foot.

Steep climb to Hanskühnenburg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The last 600 meters to the Hanskühnenburg are very steep (15%) on a loose surface. The uphill as well as the downhill drive are a challenge.
