A beautiful hiking trail. I felt like I was somewhere in a tropical forest. It offers a small idyll, with rocky slopes and the Tägerbach stream, which thunders intermittently, as if saying, "Look at me, listen to what I'm doing!" A special flora that has contributed a great deal to this idyll. You have to stop again and again, listen, observe, and enjoy.

Langgrabe, on the edge of the village of Döttingen, towards Würenlingen, is a small "gorge" with an old bunker from World War II. It's always a lovely place to cycle. It's paved. It's rarely used. A nice place to cool off in the summer. A stream also flows here, but it rarely has water.

This partially rocky wall is located in the middle of Hüsliberg (the mountain is actually called that). Gravel is mined below it.

The bypass takes you through a mini gorge. There is a World War II bunker in the gorge that is almost impossible to miss if you don't pay attention. I like driving through here.

The detour is actually cooler than the currently closed road, you just have to hold your breath at the cowshed.
