Directions

The start is at the car park on Jahnstraße in Seiffen. Then simply follow the very good signage. Over the Wettinhöhe you head towards Niederseiffenbach and Hirschberg. After a challenging descent, you pass through the Seiffen valley and ride towards the German-Czech border. Afterwards, you reach Reicheltberg and back into the Seiffen valley. From there you reach a small paved road – the "Alp de Wettin". It drains the last energy from bikers in a steep climb and leads back to the starting point.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The RADschlag

After the "marathon" it’s time to shake out your legs, loosen your muscles, and enjoy a clear mind. All of this can be wonderfully done in the crafts village of Seiffen.
