1. Etappe Breitenbach-Lippstadt

Initially flat and winding on the R1 to Obermelsungen. Then there is a small climb to the A7 (max 10%), which we cross and descend to Felsberg. Between Felsberg and Fritzlar, it rolls along secondary roads following the Eder river. In Fritzlar, it continues on the B 450 to Wolfhagen. Then it continues on the L3075 to Volkmarsen. From there it continues on a secondary road to Diemelstadt. We take the bypass on the B252 and, before passing under the motorway, turn left onto the L 3081 to Wrexen. Here we turn left onto the B7, which mostly leads flat to Marsberg. Now follows a climb with 180 meters of elevation gain. We follow the mostly descending road to Bad Wünneberg. We ride a short stretch of federal road and turn left into the Aftetal valley to Büren. Here follows the last climb of the day at about 300 m above sea level. We cross the A 44 and after a few kilometers arrive at Geseke. Here we follow the L 875 to Störmede and continue to Ehringshausen. A few kilometers still separate us from the day's destination, the guesthouse Rixbecker Alpen, located on the road leading to Lippstadt.
