Superbly developed cycle route from Musberg / Echterdingen to Aichtal to Burkhardsmühle / beer garden. Very busy on weekends in summer.

Pond in the Schaich Valley

Highlight • Lake

Small pond along the way with a small bench, in the middle of a small island with or out of a rock. Very idyllic to look at.

Schaichtal Valley and Historic Fountains

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A really beautiful valley. By the way, it should be transformed into a reservoir by a dam. Luckily that was prevented.
You can drive from Dettenhausen to Neuenhaus through the Schaichtal.
The climate is forest-like, but there are many sunny passages. Some barbecue areas, ponds and fountains are along the way.

Seven Mills Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Very beautiful valley with a very long cycling and hiking path starting at the Burkhardsmühle (the first of the seven mills - depending on the counting direction😊) to Leinfelden. A number of interesting trail sections for ambitious MTB enthusiasts run parallel. Pleasure cyclists can cycle comfortably and safely through the valley on tarred ground and have several good places to stop for refreshments along the way👍

A wonderful hike in the crisp, cold air ❄️🥶 under glorious sunshine 🌞🌞. We hiked past the Hasenhof and along the trails there to the Glashütte, then up to the radio tower. From there, we followed the Herzog Jäger Path into the Schaich Valley. We experienced a bit of a winter wonderland 🎅❄️☃️ before continuing via Neuenhaus to Waldmeister. We …

Nice quick lap through the Schaichtal and then home via the Siebenmühlental.

Beautiful loop through the Schaichtal and Siebenmühlental valleys on Easter Monday.🐰🐣🪺

Afterwards, I got completely wet on the Herzog Jäger Trail.
Up the Siebenmühlental valley and home under a warm shower.
