Kocherburg Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Great for children: figures are hidden at different locations in the castle area. All figures and a site plan can be found on the website kocherburg.de.

There you can also get information about the history and research of the Kocherburg and marvel at a 3D animation of the reconstructed castle.

EBT Trail (Braunenberg, Swabian Jura)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice and fun trail. Some of it has been expanded a bit (especially two kickers), but it is also easy to ride for beginners.

VWZ Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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

The upper section is more technical, with many root sections, curves, and a wave that can be jumped.

After a short uphill climb, the trail then moves onto the faster section.

Current information about the trail can be found at: ssvaalen.de/trailmapaalen

May 19, 2025,Biken auf den legalen Trails Aalen

Today I explored 7 of the 8 legal MTB trails east of Aalen.
The project started with a lot of advance praise, but the selection of the now legal trails already led to the first differences. Anyone interested can find plenty of reading material on Google and Facebook.
The 'new' four-way marker got a nice sign at the beginning. Unfortunately, …

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 …

May 29, 2023,Trailrunde mit Alex die x-te 🚵‍♂️

EBT was great. But needed some maintenance on the bottom part.
Today we got stuck on the Schlachtbank trail and looked at all the lines. We didn't know the line on the right. Except for the Harakiri entry, the line looks boring, in contrast to the middle one. The left and the middle line are top notch 🤩.

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.

30km680hm| I just got used to the fact that it gets dark at six - now the light goes out at five... 👎

That's why my schedule got a bit out of joint and I had to leave St. Nicholas on the left and the Easter bunny on the right in order to get to the dirt hole in time. …
