Schandental Valley and Swabian Alb Railway

Highlight • Trail

Wonderfully quiet valley with no roads or traffic, there is only the field path and the Swabian Alb Railway. The path is bumpy from time to time and has potholes, but the juniper heather slopes and the landscape are incomparable.

Here is the whole tour, recorded by Bosch:

Nice tour in the best October weather - only sunshine and more than 20 degrees.
Nevertheless, the unpaved sections of the route are damp and sometimes muddy. We traveled alone, without any hustle and bustle. Most beautiful valleys and plateaus. Only a short section of the route on the Maisenberg (plus uphill) …
