Roll out of Blechhammer and straight into the Naturpark Oberpfälzer Wald, then on past the Pingartener Porphyr reserve. Schloss Pettendorf appears along the way, followed by the Neubäuer Weiher and the Weichselbrunner Weiher with its dry pine forest near Bodenwöhr. With 77.5 km of paved surface and 795 m of climbing, the route loops back to where it began.
