Point on the Kepler planetary path, which symbolizes Jupiter. Interesting board and great model that makes the dimensions of our solar system 'tangible'. You can find the next planet in the direction of the sun, Mars, from here behind the train station in Weil der Stadt: komoot.de/highlight/2873153,
Saturn in Merklingen: komoot.de/highlight/2866293, not far from here.
Good ride!
Speaking of 'for your way to Mars', it is best to cross under the train tracks at the train station if the bike is portable, the roads in WdS are not suitable for cycling.

Diameter: 142,796 km
