License (master data) Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author A stop at the Lindenhof restaurant in Hesselbach lets you relax. Enjoy the break in the beautiful courtyard and recharge for the rest of the route. A detour to the wind turbines is also worthwhile after cycling up the hill. The huge structures look very impressive when you stand directly underneath them. In Gennernbach we recommend a visit to the Wabachbad, where slides, swimming pools, a kiosk, and a lawn provide refreshment after the route. Open from May to September.
