Graf-Rhena Trail in the Alb Valley

Highlight • Trail

Here you are on the Graf-Rhena-Weg in the Albtal. The path is the classic path through the Albtal. It leads picturesquely along meadows through the Black Forest landscape. The path takes its name from the German diplomat Friedrich von Rhena.

I spontaneously asked Chris if he wanted to cycle with me from Ettlingen to Bad Herrenalb and he immediately agreed. We then went right-Albian (i.e. on the right of the Alb) and left-Albian back again. It was a nice tour, also because of the pleasant break in the ice cream parlor in Bad Herrenalb. Since we then had an appointment …

Before the actual tour can begin, a new tube has to be put into the front wheel because the valve has come loose from the tube. We first cycle along forest cycle paths to Marxzell, where a vehicle museum catches our attention. Then we continue through the forest to the Frauenalb monastery ruins - a truly mystical place.

Today I rode my e-bike to Ettlingen and back – without a battery. It's manageable, but the support isn't to be underestimated.
The outward journey is a downhill ride with small climbs. On the return journey, however, I enjoyed the occasional push from the back.
Ettlingen itself is always worth a visit. Small and charming, with a wealth of history …
