Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

As of 08/24/2021:
The construction work on the bridges has largely been completed. The barriers have been lifted, so you can get through by bike again without any problems during the week and no longer have to take the detour.

Schaichtalweg: Gravel path along the Schaich

Highlight • Trail

It's a great route, always along the Schaich, with small lakes and biotopes. Now in summer, however, there is a mosquito and horsefly alarm. There is no great joy in the beautiful benches.

August 17, 2025,Siebenmühlental runter und rauf

Actually a nice route, just not on a nice weekend. It was completely overcrowded/overrun by cyclists, and there were also lots of walkers. Maybe another time, when it's cold and rainy 🤣😂
Unfortunately, a section is missing due to a faulty operator. It's a shame, but it can't be helped.

That was a great ride in the heat, almost all the way through the forest. Unfortunately, many of the beer gardens along the route were closed😢. I checked on Google the day before, but unfortunately the restaurants hadn't updated their websites. No problem, we found a café with ice cream and got lots of ice cream for €8 😊🍺☕

On the way rounder to the Schaichtal I caught a flat tire.
But what surprised me very positively, everyone who came by stopped and offered their help

Over the Bärensee into the Aichtal, further into the Schaichtal to Dettenhausen. Unfortunately, Cafe Mietze was closed. Had coffee at Cafe Wanner. Then back to Schaichtal and up to the radio tower. About the Siebenmühlental back to LE.

No pictures: I rode my bicycle without any stop.
A good news: in Schaichtal trail (around Km 24.5), the log that was blocking the way has been cut. It is possible to make the whole trail without any stop.
