Loop
From Baiersdorf it goes south via Weismain on Niestener Straße into the very idyllic Bärental. The route leads uphill on a paved and sometimes somewhat rough forest path, with views like a magic or fairy tale world. Since you also meet pedestrians, you should be considerate. At the end of the Bärental, the path turns west into an open forest and meadow landscape. At about 14 km in Weiden keep left and further down to the right to get a very nice entry into the Kleinziegental. At the tip stone it goes out again and over Stadelhofen, Wolkendorf with a short but very steep descent to Steinfeld. (Attention: the slope ends at the B 22). In Steinfeld it goes to the right, where you can have a tasty snack and a tasty Radlermaß at the Hübner-Bräu. It continues steeply and on a well-developed farm road to Schederndorf, on a paved path through the forest to Moraviahüll, there to the right, where after about five km of road you have a breathtaking, second entry and a view of the Kleinziegental. Beware of the switchbacks, it goes very well downhill! Back in Kleinziegental, if there is heavy traffic, it is advisable to leave the state road to the left before Schrammendorf in order to reach the starting point of this really beautiful and eventful tour in Baiersdorf on the LIF22 via Weismein's center. The route leads roughly in equal parts over paved paths, asphalt farm roads and mostly little-traveled side streets. Gravel roads are the exception.
