Tour de Franz 13.09.2008

The route was ridden by my brother Oliver and me in September 2008. It is very suitable for road bikes and shows some of the Vogtland.

From the beautiful Rotschau, we ride along the Gölzsch valley to Mylau, where the first small climb to Froschenroda begins and continues almost to Kuhberg.

Herlasgrün, Pöhl Dam, Neuensalz, Theuma, and then heading towards Schönheck. Somewhere near Korna, there’s a short, punchy climb and then it’s almost done. From Muldenberg, several kilometers of flat terrain towards Hammerbrücke bring the heart rate to GA1 level. Then a small bump after Beerheide and we continue over Schnarrtanne to Wernesgrün, Rothenkirchen, Wildenau, Stangenfrün, Irfersgrün, Hauptmannsgrün, Heinsdorf Reichenbach. The last small climb is the Krankenhausberg in Reichenbach, which will try once more to separate the wheat from the chaff. After that, a leisurely roll into the beautiful Rotschau and the bike computer shows 99 km more with almost 1500 m of elevation gain. Have fun and many greetings.
