Gernsbach Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The historic city center of Gernsbach is under monument protection. The city wall with the stork tower, the old town hall and the many half-timbered houses characterize the cityscape.

The gateway to the Murg Valley from Bad Herrenalb. After a wonderful descent, just enjoy this view. If you brake later, you are faster for longer and yes, dear motorcyclists, racing bikes are really fast downhill :-)

Beautiful views: first of paragliders from the Teufelsmühle and then of Gernsbach☀️.
Unfortunately, to get a view (without cars) of the Frauenalb monastery ruins, you have to take the VERY BAD CYCLE PATH parallel to the road.

The cycle path between Ettlingen and Herrenalb has been resurfaced, at least as far as Marxzell. However, the old, potholed surface remains further along.
Also, the newly paved section between Herrenalb and Loffenau is excellent. But here, too, urgent work is needed further along the route to Gernsbach.

What does the tour want to tell me? 🤔 in life like driving the RR - if the path doesn't continue, a new one will be found.... stay flexible 😃

Again, the current news had wanted to unite me ... So after work I freed myself from the mental stranglehold and cycled through the beautiful northern Black Forest for almost 3 hours before the earth's rotation had swallowed the last lux in Karlsruhe.
Autumnal evening tours with a clear sky: always indescribably beautiful!
