ヘッヒンゲンの峠・トップ3

Beautiful paved high road in Hechingen-Beuren towards the Zollernalbkreis border

The drive was very pleasant on a Friday evening. I don't know how it would be with more traffic. The road "alone" is great.

Stichwirtschaft – a rustic restaurant and dining establishment on the Stich (=pass) between the Albtrauf and the Albvorland. Ideal for a pit stop. Opening hours vary. https://stichwirtshaus.de/

Unfortunately, there's no real alternative to the L360 between Thanheim and Stich. Some of the forest paths on the right leading up to the access road are prone to landslides. After leaving Thanheim, turn right before the arched bridge and laboriously muddle your way uphill past the water supply and the mountain bike trail to reach the bend near the ponds. Then you still have to cycle uphill on the main road to Stich. Alternative to the Stich road https://www.komoot.de/highlight/4712734?ref=ahd

Absolute horror at the weekend. Despite having enough space, you are overtaken every few meters by one motorcycle after another at well over 100 km/h and at a distance of well under 1 meter. On almost every Alpine pass things are fairly civilized, but what is going on here is just stupid.

Stichwirtschaft - excursion restaurant and restaurant - Albstadt-Onstmettingen - Zollernalbkreis

Cozy inn that invites you to enjoy a delicious cold drink after a hike along the Traufgang.

Unfortunately, the climb is abused by racing motorcyclists and going uphill is no fun.
