Cycle path through the orchard meadows

Highlight • Cycleway

The route winds wonderfully idyllically through the gnarled, old orchards, but it can also be quite steep.

Especially in spring, when the landscape transforms into a snow-white sea of blossoms …

Bad Urach Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Half-timbered house with an integrated clock – you don't see that very often. The coloring is really well done.

Sodele, as I said, that I'll do the tour again with pictures 😉 and a few adventures in. Carrying the bike up a few flights of stairs wasn't much.
