슈바벤 쥐라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 협곡

A geological peculiarity is included in the tour.

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.

Incredibly beautiful Alb landscape with limestone cliffs, stony meadows, juniper heaths, green meadows, everything…

There are some fantastic routes for cyclists here. But the bike path gets very busy on weekends.

Beautiful valley, cycling on lonely paths

The Hohenzollern Graben is a geological fault line that stretches from southwest Germany to Austria. It was created by tensions in the Earth's crust that led to shifts millions of years ago. The rift is particularly striking along the Swabian Alb, where it clearly shapes the landscape. Rock layers are exposed here that would otherwise remain hidden. The area is of great interest to geologists because it provides deeper insights into the development of Central Europe.
