オーバーマルヒタールのおすすめツーリングルート

Juniper heaths are one of the most typical landscape features of the Swabian Alb. They originated from centuries of sheep grazing, which prevented the areas from reverting to forest. Many rare plants and herbs grow among the juniper bushes on the calcareous soils.

Beautiful area along the Große Lauter river

When I created this highlight in September 2020, it was already clear that the Lauter Valley would be busy on the weekends. It's simply a beautiful valley and a wonderful place to cycle. The fantastic Alb vegetation and the Lauter River are a truly special experience. You're never alone here! Not even during the week – there are people commuting to work in the mornings, too. It's best between Monday and Wednesday. We were here on a Saturday, and obviously, a lot of people were busy, as there weren't many cyclists and other road users on the road. If you're looking for solitude, you should cycle to a valley without a federal highway.

Wonderful route along the rocks.

Of course, it's not good when users misinform you here! Okay, the castle in the picture is in the Lautertal valley, but it's Hohenhundersingen Castle! And it's always accessible! The castle in Bichishausen is nearby, but very rarely open to visitors under supervision! Sincerely, Andy

It's simply a poem to cycle here in good weather.
