On August 31st, it’s finally time: The next edition of Project Karl (2024#3) is here! This time, the route is a bit longer than usual, but it’s well worth the effort. We’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view from the highest point in Rhineland-Palatinate, the Erbeskopf. Look forward to a varied route with stunning vistas, well-maintained forest paths, flowing trails and only a few ramps.
The routes:
- Short: approx. 80 km / 1100 m of elevation gain

- Long: approx. 123 km / 1900 m of elevation gain

On the long route, you can refuel in Abtei (water only), at Erbeskopf, and in Hermeskeil. The short route passes by Reinsfeld, where you can refill water or get a cold drink.
The start for both routes is at 10:00 am in Ruwer on the start of the Ruwertal bike path. If you come by car, you can park at the “Hüsterwiese” opposite the start point.
For the social part, we’ve got a new location: the Bella I’TALIA restaurant in Ruwer, right on the bike path. Please let us know in advance if you’ll be joining us for the meal so we can reserve seats accordingly (social@projekt-karl.de or through the comments on our website).
