Here's the meaning behind the name: Topographical "Meeting": The route connects two contrasting elements of the Hohenlohe landscape – the mountains and the plains. The "Summit": Waldenburg sits atop a mountain spur at an altitude of approximately 500 meters and is also known as the "Balcony of Hohenlohe." This is the high point (summit) of the tour. The Plains: Gailenkirchen and the route leading there lie significantly lower in the Hohenlohe Plain/Kochertal region (approximately 350 meters). The name thus alludes to the fact that here, the mountain and the valley "meet," or rather, that the cyclist climbs (or descends) a "summit." Marketing Name: As the user comment on Komoot shows ("a brilliant bike path, it's called Gipfeltreffen (Summit Meeting), and maybe someone knows what it means"), the name was deliberately chosen to be unusual, to pique curiosity and emphasize the athletic challenge (the climb to Waldenburg).
