Old Steep Track (Erkenbrechtsweiler–Beuren)
Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
As the Neuffener Steige is closed to motorcycles at the weekend, they all ride long, but mostly up rather than down. If it can be done anyway, so plan as a departure and not as a rise!

Hanner Steige
Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
Very scenic Alba climb from Bad Urach towards Würtingen. Crisp climb with a 15 percent gradient and a few switchbacks. Flatter at the top. New road surface.

Grabenstetten Climb
Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
Comparatively moderate ascent to the Alb - but definitely a highly recommended alternative to the B28 or B465 if you are cycling from Bad Urach!

Grabenstetter Steige Descent Past Alfred Moeck Quarry
Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
Quite dangerous descent with sharp turns. Through the quarry and trucks driving there, split on the stars, so slippery - be careful! Even if the Staige entices you to drive quickly and is fun!

Ascent of the Alb to Grabenstetten
Highlight • Mountain Pass
Nice ascent to the Alb. Moderate inclines, the road is ok but not in great condition, often a bit dirty around the quarry. Rather little traffic but now and then trucks to the quarry.
