Always a lot of traffic with cyclists and public transport buses. Tübingen has set up some cycle streets and banned cars.

An absolute flagship project from the cycling city of Tübingen. The role models with their own cycle paths and cycle garages come from the Netherlands. Tübingen even has a cycle roundabout. The pirate playground (still under construction) fits seamlessly under the cycle bridge. Chapeau 🎩👌

It's always good when there's a bridge...

Great bridge. In the Netherlands and Belgium, you find such unusual bridges more often: for example, across a lake or as a treetop walkway.

Start of the Würm Valley. Runs great. If needed, continue to (or from) Dätzingen or Weil der Stadt.
