Bavarian Forest...? Bavarian Forest...? Bavarian Forest...? The searching finger slides over the map with a quiet grinding noise and finally finds the word it is looking for in an area printed in green on the road map. Then, diagonally above Bodenmais, the name "Hinterer Wald". Where the vertical line of the first "r" ends, there is a tiny number right next to the yellow-marked road: 1,114 metres. A "Hinterer Wald" that rises more than a thousand metres above the distant sea conjures up images. Images of lonely, dark roads pointing steeply upwards. Perhaps also of horse-drawn carts?
The area is no cycling no-man's land. The Arber Cycling Marathon organised by the Regensburg club VC Ratisbona, a demanding classic on the scene, stops by here every year - on the toughest route variant.
