April 13, 2025,Radtour ab Campingplatz Böhringen – Albgenuss pur

The tour starts directly at the campsite in Böhringen, with a beautiful first climb over Hülben – the perfect introduction to the tour with panoramic views over the Alb foothills. From there, the route descends via the legendary Promillegasse (with plenty of momentum and views) to Dettingen an der Erms.

Cycling in the Swabian Alb, simply beautiful. See something else. The size of the former military training area in Münsingen is surprising.
The Hursch observation tower is really only for those with a head for heights.
The food in the Löwen in Zainingen can only be recommended. Swabian Alb, we'll be back.

It went to BU again, via the Green Path to Seeburg and the great Alb climb through the Trailfinger Gorge ↗️. Via the former military training area, to Böhringen and on to Grabenstetten - time for …

Nice tour through spring on the Swabian Alb. Very interesting landscape. High plateau and in between wonderful gorges and valleys that all lead to Bad Urach. When you're out of the holes, you might think you're in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Due to the rain of the last few days everything is very soggy and trails are rather dangerous. Let's go hiking …
