As approach to Gschwend or Rottal perfect. Starting from Fichtenberg turn right from the main road and drive into the valley. The surface is consistently good.
Gradually, the road climbs, but without really steep.
At the top there is a connection to Kirchenkirnberg or to Gschwend (continue straight on here and then drive a short distance sidewalk next to the main road.)

Murrhardt town centre

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Murrhardt with around 14,000 inhabitants is the center of the Swabian Forest in the northeast of the Stuttgart metropolitan region.

An impressive story can be experienced up close. Immerse yourself in an exciting journey through time from the Limes World Heritage Site and the vicus murrensis fort site to Roman times, through the Middle Ages as the heyday of the Murrhardt monastery, the Wilhelminian and Art Nouveau periods, which are unique for Murrhardt, right into the modern era.

Experience the Roman Murrhardt in the Carl Schweizer Museum, in the permanent exhibition in the medical center at the Römerbad or on a hike to the Roman watchtowers on the Limes. Visit the former monastery complex, which is still almost completely there and is now in the middle of life, together with the Walterich Chapel and the Walterich Church. You can find out the history and background in the Carl Schweizer Museum. You can experience the Wilhelminian and Art Nouveau periods up close in the Villa Franck on the Hohenstein above Murrhardt. Immerse yourself in the time of the “Caro King” and Murrhardt honorary citizen Robert Franck.

Enjoy the picturesque landscape with natural beauties such as the Hörschbachschlucht, recreational areas such as the Waldsee or the Stadtgarten, the picturesque streets of the city center with specialist shops, attractions, cafés and restaurants or the beautifully situated suburbs and hamlets around the town.

October 17, 2021,🚴🚴‍♀️Durchs schönes Rottal – Murrhardt Schöntalsägemühle Gschwend

Nice when the weather clears up at noon and spontaneously finds a passenger to catch the autumn light of the Swabian forest again.
Great tour with moderate climbs this time 😊 on bike paths or roads with few cars.
And Murrhardt is also a great place to stop off afterwards - I can highly recommend Pizzeria da Franco🍕. Or alternatively …
