July 13, 2026, Morretal Route from Hettigenbeuern to Schneeberg

A very nice stretch in the Odenwald. No cars in sight. Coming from Hettigbeuren, it is slightly downhill with occasional kickers that allow you to wiggle your bum.

A mighty and beautiful bridge, somewhat reminiscent of the old Rhine bridge in Worms.
