On Saturday 15 August 2026 at 9.00 am, we’re finally back in action: Projekt Karl invites you to another epic social gravel ride!
We’ll be setting off on a lovely loop through the Hochwald – escaping the worst of the heat on the finest gravel.
The ride starts and finishes in Ruwer at the start of the Ruwertal Cycle Route (https://maps.app.goo.gl/6EG8C9VR6MX8gtxv7) and will cover approximately 106 km with around 1,700 metres of elevation gain.
You can find the track here: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/3182730367
A refreshment point will be available in Hermeskeil at the ‘Wasgau’.
Due to the forecast heat next weekend, the route offers further stops for drinking water:
– At the Nonnweiler weir, we can stop for coffee and cake at the café
– Nonnweiler has a pub
– Optional: drinking water in Gusenburg at the cemetery
– Reinsfeld (several restaurants or the kebab shop)
– Ruwer spring
Please do bring enough food and drink with you, though! We’ll be cycling through the Hochwald, and apart from the places mentioned, there are hardly any opportunities to restock.
If you’re travelling by car, you can park for free at the “Hüsterwiese”: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x9STsDsnszhzP5176
See you at Projekt Karl 2026#2!
