Roll out of Nordhausen and straight into the Naturpark Südharz, then on through the Alter Stolberg and Grasburger Wiesen. Next comes the Biosphärenreservat Karstlandschaft Südharz, followed by the Gipskarstlandschaft Questenberg, before Schloss Roßla and a final look from the Petriturm. It's 74.3 km, all paved, with 742 m of climbing, and it ends back in Nordhausen.
