Kapfenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle is great on the hill above Lauchheim. The road down to Lauchheim is very steep and easy to drive at high speed. As a departure perfect, however, many cars thunder in the ascent.

August 21, 2022,Kocher-Jagst E01 Crailsheim - Aalen

What a great start to our summer tour 2022: The Kocher-Jagst cycle path with a small detour to the Tauber 🤩
We were woken up by the quiet splashing of the rain on the forecourt 😱
But that contradicted every weather forecast 🤬... Very carefully, the curtain was lifted a bit... only blue sky ☀️
Thank God the "rain" was …

Today is the first day, with great weather, albeit a bit chilly. Starting at 3 degrees Celsius. A very beautiful route, and there's a lot to see.

July 16, 2026,Kocher-Jagst-Radweg #5 von Crailsheim nach Aalen (Finale)

This was now the end of the beautiful Kocher-Jagst cycle path. We had a lot of fun and are a little sad that it is now over.
Some ascents are quite tough and would not have been rideable for us without e-bikes. The weather also played a role. At least 30 degrees every day and very humid. But we don't …

June 21, 2025,Kocher-Jagst Radweg - 1.Etappe: von Crailsheim nach Aalen

This time we took on the Kocher-Jagst cycle path in the northern part of Baden-Württemberg. Located between the Neckar, Hohenlohe region, and the Swabian Alb, we started in Crailsheim.

Jagstheim and Randenweiler were the first towns we passed through on the beautiful and well-developed cycle path.

Fortunately, I was able to continue driving today after the day off. The landscape has changed. Overall, it was a pretty nice stage. I could have made a detour to the origin of the stove, but didn't know how much down or up that would have meant. The ascent to Kapfenburg was enough for me today. A short tour through …

This first stage was quite something!😅
The humid summer weather with 24 degrees 🌤 stayed with us until 6 km before Aalen, when we had to get out our rain jackets for 2 km ⛈️. After that, it was all sunshine all the way to the finish☀️.
The Syrian lunch snack was delicious 😋.
Untypical for a river bike path, …

May 28, 2025,Kocher Jagst Radweg - Tag 3 Von Crailsheim nach Aalen

The third day of our tour started off wet. Windy and rainy until 2 p.m. Then the clouds cleared and it stayed dry but there were occasional strong gusts of wind. From Crailsheim, the start of today's stage, the landscape of the Jagst valley changes a little. The valley is more open and wider and there are not so many …

In contrast to yesterday, today we had great cycling weather and a very nice tour. The first detour took us to the headwaters of the white Kocher, only 1 km but a nice out and back route through the forest. It's incomprehensible to me that this part isn't part of the official cycle path. In order to get from Kocher …
