Tips from the Community
Cool tunnel to ride through; sometimes there is water in the middle, better to ride slightly on the outside.

The start of the trail in Pflaumheim is no longer accessible, as it is a green waste collection point and therefore closed.

In summer, the path is partially quite overgrown.

If you're in a hurry, the nature toilet at the crossroads will help you out – even with a flush, but only when it rains. :-)

Anyone who fancies a high-speed trip back in time simply has to include this section between Pflaumheim and Mömlingen in their logbook! Where the steam locomotives of the Bachgau Railway once chugged, the track now belongs to us – and the feeling is absolutely epic. Why you have to ride this: The tunnel thrill: The absolute highlight! You shoot from daylight straight into the dark tunnel. The adrenaline surges as the light at the end of the tunnel (screenshots 8 & 9) grows ever brighter. A true sensory experience! Flowing straights: The track winds its way straight through the landscape (screenshots 3 & 4). Perfect for letting the chain stay on the right and really putting the power down on the pedals – especially in winter, the contrast between the dark gravel and the white powder on either side is fantastic. Panoramic views & solitude: As soon as you emerge from the wooded ravines, sweeping vistas open up across the snow-covered fields of the Bachgau region (Screenshots 1 & 6). 💡 Pro tip for winter: While the route isn't technically demanding, the tunnel passage can be tricky. Watch out for potholes or patches of ice in the dark – a good handlebar light will help you safely navigate this "point of no return"! Verdict: A must for all gravel enthusiasts and MTB aficionados in the region. Fast, steeped in history, and with the tunnel feature, an absolute guarantee for a good time. #Bachgaubahn #GravelKing #TunnelRide #Pflaumheim #Mömlingen #WinterRide #LostPlaces #VeloAdventures
