Ultimately, it's whatever each rider makes of it. Maybe a journey to discover the region, a chance to leave your comfort zone, an adventure, a challenge, a good opportunity to meet like-minded people, maybe all of these things. Let’s find out. Each on their own and yet never really alone. GPS tracking by Follow My Challenge allows for the riders to be followed in real-time. There are no prizes for riding fast, so it's not a race.This route leads to the borders of Taunus as well as deep into its heart, including many ups and downs. The elevation profile is challenging, with about 20 meters of elevation per kilometer. There are no long flat bits. Many of the climbs are relatively short but steep and the surface keeps on changing. After this ride you’ll know the Taunus better than most locals.The track runs mainly away from roads on quiet farm and forest lanes and a few trails. You’ll find shelter huts, hotels, campsites, fountains as well as resupply options along the route.Taunus Bikepacking is founded and organized by Jesko von Werthern.
