Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
Along the route are the Eder spring and the Hohenroth forester's lodge. On the summit of the Giller there is the Giller Tower - a lookout tower that you should definitely climb. The view is excellent. Passing by the landmark, the Ginsburg, is also a must. A detour to the Ginsburg with tower climb and a stop at the Ginsburg tavern are recommended.
Safety guidelines
Wearing a bicycle helmet is recommended.
