Weather tips
Hard road bike route. Very good condition required.
The route connects the dams Pöhl, Pirk and Zeulenroda as well as the Eibenstock dam under challenging path guidance. A great route for professional road cyclists to let off steam. If you do not want to take a break, at least you have a wonderful view of the dams.
