The VWZ Trail is located directly at the "An der Steige" parking lot between Aalen and Brastelburg.

July 6, 2024,vom Kocherburg-Trail zur Schlachtbank (Abbruch wegen Gewitter)

This year, on the third attempt, it finally worked, the weather was on our side, and then things turned out differently than planned.
From the four-way pointer, quarry, Kocherburg, Dreckloch, Baierstein, NoFlow to @Schlachtbank, everything was great. On the climb towards Spindeltrail, there was thunder in the distance, and shortly afterwards the rain started. I then continued towards Jägerwieshütte and …

August 6, 2022,Einmal Braunen- + Grünenberg mit allem und doppelt Dreckloch - voll scharf! 😈

37hm880hm| At least with everything I wanted to drive. 😊 The excursion to the Bohler wouldn't have been necessary. Braking down the fall line on loose ground is just not my thing. 🙄 Then I would have been spared the "Querwaldein" passage between K2 and Fossil.
