Beautiful corner here in the Leintal. The cycle path winds idyllically through fields and meadows along the little river Lein.

I love bridges; just stopping and looking down at the flowing Kocher River is very relaxing.

The castle has a lovely beer garden, open in good weather and on Sundays and public holidays. It's worth the climb.

Between Täferrot and the dam, this more scenic section runs along the Lein River. Parallel to the other side of the official cycle path.
