Bad Urach Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

The center of the historic city center is the spacious market square, which is characterized by half-timbered houses from the 15th and 16th centuries. Its unusual trapezoidal shape is due to topography: above the market square, the Ermstal and Elsach valleys merge and only from here does the Ermstal widen towards the Neckar foreland. The landscape therefore determines the shape of the square.

Numerous cafés and restaurants invite you to linger. The market square is now traffic-calmed, only the city bus line is allowed to drive over it.
On Wednesdays and Saturday mornings, a weekly market takes place on the market square from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Urach weekly market has a long tradition. It has existed for over 130 years, and today it mainly offers agricultural products. The market fountain in late Gothic style used to be the city's most important water dispenser and a meeting place for young and old. This tradition has been preserved and the market fountain is still the meeting point for public city tours on Sundays at 2 p.m. Source (BadUrach-Tourismus.de)

Kaltental Lane and Kaltental Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

From Bad Urach at the Pfählhof campsite, it goes through the Kaltental towards Grabenstetten or Hülben. Graveled, easily drivable path. Nice resting place at the Kaltentalsee.

February 4, 2024,mit dem Rad zum Hohenneuffen
Hello Hello,
Yesterday Stefan asked me if I would like to go on a bike tour today, perhaps to the Neuffen vineyards.
So he quickly planned a bike tour to Hohenneuffen.
So we - @Schdäffan, Heike and I started our bike tour shortly after 1 p.m. today.
Our route:
Steep climb through the Metzinger vineyards to the NFH Metzingen
Kappishäuser …

Today we made a nice tour to the Lenninger valley to the "sinter terraces of the white Lauter" to Gutenberg.
We went back via Schlattstall, Grabenstetten and the Kaltental down to Bad Urach 👌
