Deep valley trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Seems forever, even though it's only ten kilometers. It's going uphill all the time. Very pleasant to drive in the summer heat, as the forest provides shade and coolness.

Schandental Valley and Swabian Alb Railway

Highlight • Trail

Wonderfully quiet valley with no roads or traffic, there is only the field path and the Swabian Alb Railway. The path is bumpy from time to time and has potholes, but the juniper heather slopes and the landscape are incomparable.

August 25, 2024,5-Täler-Rundfahrt - Runde von Münsingen

Hello,
Today I rode a round trip from Münsingen on my trekking bike (without the "E" 😉). I saw the tour 2 years ago at @Ute🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ and saved it straight away. Since then it has been slumbering in my planned tours.

Tour from the e-bike tour program of the municipality of Münsingen in the Swabian Jura. There are 10 designated routes in total.

Very nice and entertaining tour to the Blautopf to Blaubeuren through beautiful valleys and forests. Then back over the heights and through the former military training area, now the biosphere area of the Swabian Jura. Due to the …

August 30, 2023,Alb #1 Schmiechtal 🏞– 🔵Blautopf ⛅️🌦

Inspired by an advertising brochure for cycling tours, we chose a holiday apartment in Münsingen. Münsingen is the starting point of 9 tour suggestions, which are also signposted. We spent the first day in the Beuren open-air museum because of the constant rain.
This morning it was finally dry again and we did the first tour (No. 8) to the …

I've wanted to do this tour for a long time. Drive up the Alb from the other side and down again. There were a few short places where the road was long, but otherwise it was actually a very nice bike ride.

September 12, 2022,😎 Schandental - heute mal in der anderen Richtung

Since we were pretty lazy at the weekend, I had to get the bike out of the garage today. The Schandental is one of my absolute favorite routes, but I've never ridden it from top to bottom. There were new views and impressions to be seen today.

I avoided the expected heat on the Alb with a long-planned tour. A wonderful circular tour with many sections that were new to me. I booked this tour a long time ago from @Ute🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️, thanks for sharing.

There's a lot of work going on at the Blautopf, and Münsingen didn't invite me to stop for a bit.
