    Impressions from Projekt Karl 2024#1

    In the first edition of the Projekt Karl Social Gravel Ridesfor 2024, both routes took to the Saar Loop.

    In loops with constantly changing views of the beautiful Saar valley, we went via Saarburg and the Kaiserweg on the long route and Maria-Croon-Weg on the short route to Orscholz to the Cloef: the viewpoint of the Saar Loop.

    On the way back, we were caught out by the forecast rain – but we had a lot of fun and a great group and look back fondly on the beautiful day.

  • Season Opening on 04.05.2024

    Winter is over – or let’s call it “the big rainy period” is coming to an end.
    And the time has come again: Project Karl is once again offering you beautiful, fully scouted social gravel rides in 2024.
    We start the first ride on 04.05.2024 with two routes:

    approx. 75km with about 1000 meters of elevation gain
    approx. 115km with approx. 1700 meters of altitude difference

    Both routes will start together at 10:00 a.m. from the Estricher Hof (located between Trier and Konz: www.estricherhof.de).

    The routes are still being worked on and will be published in good time on our website www.projekt-karl.de and our Komoot account www.komoot.com/de-de/user/3121705780346.

    Our first ride of 2024 will offer us great views of the Saar and lead us to the Saarschleife – this time with a unique view from the Cloef.
    We will then return via the Saargau.
    All routes are scouted and rideable – even after rainy days.

    There will be opportunities to buy more food and water along the way.

    A table has been reserved for us at the Estricher Hof. We will end the day there with a good meal and pleasant conversation.
    If you would like to take part in the after-gravel table, please register at https://projekt-karl.de/en/contact-us/ – this will allow us to plan better.
    Otherwise: no fees, no costs: just come, join us and enjoy the day!

    See you at the Projekt Karl Social Gravel Ride!
