Clausnitzer House, Schwäbisch Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

I probably don't have to say anything about how beautiful Schwäbisch Hall is. Here you can easily walk through the city and look at the old town

Starkholzbacher Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Starkholzbacher See near Schwäbisch Hall is a great swimming lake. It has a sunbathing lawn and a bathing jetty. Not far from the lake is the Gipsmühle inn, which originally dates from 1866.

Its more recent history is also interesting. Due to fish die-offs in 2007, the lake was completely drained and re-established as a recreational area a few years ago.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Low traffic street. Quiet valley. Good to drive. Before and in Mainhardt the rise does not want to end.

Road Along the Kocher

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

There is a great bike path on the other side of the Kocher. But there is usually little traffic on the road, but some of them are racing quite a bit because the road allows that.
