We long-term residents of Oberursel are familiar with this annual event. For the newcomers to Oberursel and vicinity, this might prove to be a challenge to get in and out of Oberursel on that day. Some roads will be blocked for traffic as early as 8:53, and some until 13:16.
From my experience, it is best to leave your home around 8:00.
These roads will be affected:
- Waldlust-Hohemark
- Im Heidegraben/Hohemarkstraße
- Altkönigstraße/Steinmühlenweg
- Hommkreisel
- Oberhöchstädter Straße/An der Heide
- Gablonzer Straße/Zimmersmühlenweg

Edit on Sat, 30 April, 18:36: One of my friends pointed out that the bikers’ route might differ from the one above. See here: Hessenschau Conclusion: If you have the option to stay home, then do so...
