View of the Danube near Erbach

Highlight • Viewpoint

South of Erbach an der Donau you have this fantastic view. From the bike path you can look out over the water and across the Danube as you roll through a beautiful area.

Bruckfels

Highlight • Natural Monument

Pushes into the landscape like a ship's bow. Very impressive and a nice photo spot.

Cycle path along the Blau from Gerhausen to Arnegg

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a great place to really let it all go. A perfect bike path, wide enough and with a good surface. Scenic and far, far away from cars.

View of Schloss Klingenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Perched on the south side of the blue valley. Nice to look at. For hardcore gravel fans there is a steep ascent to Klingenstein and then on to Harthausen.

June 20, 2023,Tour 9 - von Ulm auf den Spuren der Donau

The cycle path was well signposted and 100% asphalt. We started from the Hotel Best Western in Ehingen and followed the actual course of the tour. Because of the heat, we took a short drinking break in the shade about every 10 km. A little directly on the road through fields and nature. You could also do it with the …

July 14, 2024,Alb-Donau-Kreis Radtour 9

Today, in good cycling weather, we did the Alb-Donau district cycle tour 9 from Ehingen towards Blautopf. This time we skipped the Blautopf itself, on Sunday, during the holiday season, it was certainly well attended. We continued towards Ulm, always along larger and smaller rivers. We also avoided the city centre of Ulm because the Danube Festival was taking place. …

In the Schmiechtal to Allmendingen and Schmiechen, there in the REWE market we first refreshed our drink supplies.🍹🧃😀

Probably the bike path to Ulm Minster and then to Wiblingen makes more sense.

June 29, 2022,Runde von Ulm über Ehingen und Blaubeuren/Blautopf 🚴😎

The 2nd trip with the €9 ticket took us to Ulm. Start around 06.45 in Friedberg to Augsburg, change there to the regional train to Ulm. The car indicated bicycle spaces, but puff cake. This "train model" was designed by someone who had never wanted to ride a bicycle on the train. Far too narrow and actually useless except for …

May 7, 2025,Ulm - Blaubeuren - Ehingen - Ulm

Our tour led from Ulm along the Blau River to the Blautopf in Blaubeuren. After visiting this impressive source of the Blau, we cycled partly along the Ach River to Schelklingen, then on to Ehingen and back along the Danube to Ulm. Shortly before Ulm, the Iller flows into the Danube.
