Goldersbach valley

Highlight • Gorge

A beautiful, flat route for the whole family. Avoid the trail on public holidays, as it can get very crowded. For mountain bikers, I recommend taking the numerous side trails.

It's about a 5-minute walk from the large parking lot to the first view. Another 5 minutes and you're at the monastery complex.

Tübingen Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

In the historic old town of Tübingen, the sights are so close together that you will not be able to get out of amazement. The market square is surrounded by medieval half-timbered gables and is dominated by the town hall, a magnificent building from the 15th century. Hohentübingen Castle was first mentioned in 1078. His most beautiful ornament is the Renaissance portal, which was built around 1606. In the center of the old town is the collegiate church with one of the most beautiful Gothic rood screen in southern Germany and other art treasures. Also on the timber market is the Alte Aula, once the center of the university. The Kornhaus, in which grain has been traded and stored since 1453, now houses the collections and exhibitions of the city museum. The Evangelical Monastery has served as a training facility for Protestant theology students since 1534. The Burse was built around 1480 as a student residence. From the Neckar Bridge, the view of Tübingen's Neckarfront and the Hölderlin Tower, in which the poet lived from 1807 until his death in 1843, falls. The “father of botany” Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566) lived in the nuns' house on the picturesque Ammer Canal.

Ammer River

Highlight • River

The Ammer River rises from several springs near Herrenberg-Haslach and flows through Tübingen into the Neckar. Its name comes from the Celtic word "amra," meaning "water." The Ammer River is approximately 22 km long and is known for its many mills, only a few of which are still in operation today.

View to „Wurmlinger Kapelle“

Highlight • Viewpoint

Everyone knows it and the older ones know it too:
"The chapel stands there" from the pen of the Tübingen poet and literary scholar
Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862)
"A real Swabian"

The well-developed Ammertal cycle path, which runs from the source near Herrenberg-Haslach to Tübingen, where the Ammer flows into the Neckar, is always a pleasure to ride on well-paved paths.

October 3, 2021,Die Herrenberg-Tübingen-Schönbuch-Runde
Quite flat training lap, if you drive it counterclockwise. Through the Schönbuch it goes on gravel ground. If you want to stay on asphalt, you should go straight on behind Bebenhausen at the sign “Herrenberg 17 km”. Staying on the main path you come to Entringen. From there you can get to Herrenberg, which is well signposted.

From Herrenberg through the Ammer Valley to Tübingen. Small detour to the old town, where there is a shop for folding bikes. Then to Bebenhausen and back through the Schönbuch, which cools down wonderfully on this hot summer day.

Showing Translation

A classic round trip between Tübingen and Herrenberg in pleasant temperatures.

The outward journey always follows the Goldersbach:

Very pleasant to drive, simply idyllic.

The return journey through the open Ammer valley.

Can be done in two hours.

Latin inscription in Bebenhausen (freely translated):

"In the year 1532, Clement VII was Pope, Charles V was invincible Roman Emperor.

Always through beautifully
the Schönbuch to Tübingen.

Because of the temperatures over the Schönbuch in the forest shadow to Bebenhausen...

Beautiful tour also for people who are not in good shape, few climbs, easy to ride

The shady Schönbuch was a nice start for today's tour. The tower was even made to sway a little by the strong wind. We then went through Herrenberg in the direction of Ammertal. With the tailwind, I was quickly back in Tübingen. Finally, an alcohol-free wheat beer at the Neckar Müller, and the Fischers Woiza was the best I've had …

After leaving Tübingen behind you, it goes uphill through the forest gently but steadily until you reach Herrenberg. Unfortunately it rained on this section so that we all looked like pigs when we arrived in Herrenberg.
P.S. I know and we got dirty too.
From Herrenberg it goes back to Tübingen via well-developed bike paths, which are mostly asphalted.
All …
