Neglected for years. Tried again on April 4th, 2025. Gave up and pushed the bike back up 50 meters of elevation gain. Impassable, even with a regular bike. No way. Such a shame... who can be contacted to do something about it? According to the municipality, it's privately owned.

Very nice route along the water. There is a rest area with benches at Jammertal. There are generally a few places to sit. You have to expect muddy terrain.

Also easy to reach on horseback, the path from Winden (with a few deposits) or halfway along the Gelbach valley from Dies / Eschenau is very beautiful.

Idyllically located mill with restoration in the Gelbach Valley. Away from the main hustle and bustle, cozy... note opening times!

Attention, Tuesday is a rest day! - Otherwise I can recommend the trout miller! I have rarely eaten such a delicious one. 😋
