The ride
Roll out of Kulmbach for 74.0 km of mostly paved riding, with 1000 m of climbing along the way. The route strings castles together — Schloss Wildenroth, Neues Schloss, Altes Schloss and Oberes Schloss — before the Naturpark Frankenwald opens up around you. Then it's down along the Untere Steinach and the Weißer Main, and back to Kulmbach where you started.
