Rottal Valley near Wielandsweiler

Highlight • Forest

One of my favorite routes. Sunny at first, then shady and cool in the Rottal valley, amidst relatively untouched nature. Highly recommended!

This is the absolute highlight of the bike. This path takes you to Mainhardt, Oberrot or Grab. Great route in the cool forest and along the stream.

We're in Mainhardt for my husband's family reunion this long weekend. Of course, we want to take full advantage of the opportunity to cycle in this area!

I've planned our first tour toward Murrhardt. There are a few steep climbs and descents, and some of the forest paths are quite rough, but overall, it's a good ride. Very nice tour!
