After a few kilometres to warm up, the day properly started with the long climb from Gomaringen to Genkingen. Once on top, the route stayed on the plateau for most of the day, often around 800 metres above sea level. That could sound monotonous on paper. It was not. The Alb-Crossing has a way of changing

The previous day, I had finished just before a biblical storm rolled in. In the morning, the traces were still there: branches, leaves, and debris scattered across the tracks. But there was almost no mud, which said a lot about the quality of the trails on the Alb-Crossing.
The forecast mentioned a few

I started straight from the Limes Thermen hotel in Aalen, and the route wasted no time in making its point: almost immediately, the road tilted upwards. I quickly understood that the Schwäbische Alb is a hilly region.
Once on the plateau at the top, the route settled into the forest, and I had my first

The last day again? But we don't want the Hohenzollern Cycle Path to end! Fortunately, we still have a long and promising stage ahead of us today.
We start in the south of the Swabian Alb, cycling past the former royal town of Meßkirch until we reach the Sauldorfer Baggerseen nature reserve. Migratory

Barely two bends past Gammertingen, we suddenly find ourselves amidst the lush greenery of the Lauchert Valley. The cycle path winds along the crystal-clear Lauchert River, past rugged cliffs, vibrant flower meadows, and through cool forests. The landscape is so enchanting that what should have been

🏰 At the beginning of this stage, everything revolves around Hohenzollern Castle, which sits majestically on a mountain. It is the ancestral seat of the German noble family, the House of Hohenzollern, who once provided the Emperor of Germany, and is therefore one of the most famous sights in the country

The Swabian Alb is calling! Quite loudly, because this is actually our first time in the Alb. Over the next four days, we'll follow the Hohenzollern Cycle Route from Weinstadt to Konstanz, passing countless, some extremely impressive, castles and palaces. 🏰 270km and almost 3,000 meters of elevation

This tour, which is both thematically and scenically very interesting, is dedicated to the pioneering spirit that led to the construction of the first Albwasser project in 1870. The route traces the historical and technical masterpiece.
We start in huts and hike through the romantic Schmiechtal along

That was a hike to my liking! i love prospects You could almost say I'm addicted to prospects. And if a hike after 15 minutes already has such a magnificent view in store, like the Donaufelsen tour, then I'm really really happy!
On the 16 kilometers you circle a beautiful section of the Danube valley

Today was my first time hiking in the Swabian Alb! Somehow it's totally similar to the Black Forest and somehow it's completely different. Many parts of this hike reminded me of tours I've already done in the Black Forest: the views of the hills, the wide views down into the valley, steep climbs on narrow

From the Risiberg it was only 20 kilometers to Tuttlingen, the destination of my trip. But before that I had a stop in Wurmlingen at the Hirsch brewery. The senior boss Rainer Honer, who is almost 83 years old, is still working in the brewery, which has been a family business for five generations. Mr

I was able to talk about this the next morning with Eberhard Etter, who has been working up here as a castle manager for ten years. First I had to find my way to the castle, which was not so easy in thick fog, drizzle and visibility of 50 meters. It's a good thing that I also had the new Nyon on-board

The first day began with a few leisurely kilometers in the valley via Beuren to Neuffen, followed directly by the first ascent with a 15 percent incline up to Hohenneuffen Castle. Despite the eBike, I started sweating and was rewarded 20 minutes later with a magnificent panorama. Because from the castle

The fourth day was the shortest, because I had to make my way back home. Unfortunately. It was also the easiest stage of my Alb-Crossing, which my tired legs did not complain about.
One of the highlights came early in the day, on the cycle path built along the former Heubergbahn railway line. Riding through
