The Lein in Heuchlingen is already a stately little river that flows into the Kocher in Abtsgmünd.

Magnificent panoramic views extend all the way to Schwäbisch Hall and Waldenburg. To the south, the hills of the Alb are visible. The weather just has to be right.

Almost a cycle highway along the Kocher River. Partially marked at narrow sections.

A solidly built old bridge over the Kocher River. It provides good shelter during storms.
