Dillstädt-Skihang Schmiedefeld-Schneekopf-Gehlberger Grund-Schneekopf-Zahme Gera-Mönchshof-Mordfleck-Wegscheide (Teil 4)

the ramp from the Steintal up is just the beginning - then it goes moderately towards the steep ramp with 5 rises, which have about 18% - but fortunately it is a gravel road that is in very good condition - so after 73 hard kilometers, you can still get up relatively easily - at the top then the road towards Schmücke passing by Mönchshof continues, until it turns left onto the Ilm cycling path down into the Freibachtal - this then leisurely up to Mordfleck at the Rennsteig - once more briefly up and then down to Wegscheide - after that it was TIME FOR DESCENT
