Dream tour: no long climbs - just a few short ones😉.

Great trails 👌 and beautiful varied area 🤩 - a must. Thanks for the tip.

I rode the tour from Bruchsal and added the Michaelsberg near Trippsdrill, then it was >200 km and >3000 hm. It was fun 😁. You can certainly do it in several stages too - but why? 😂
