Nice cycle path connection between Treffelhausen & Böhmenkirch. The racing bike also rolls well, asphalt is ok. A real highlight in terms of landscape!

Eseltal Dam

Highlight • Structure

The structure referred to as the "Eseltal Dam" on the official sign of the Wedel-Brenz Water Board is actually a flood retention basin built in 1962. The body of water, which only carries water periodically and has no fixed bed for long stretches, is the Eseltalgraben. It is dammed here in the event of flooding to prevent flooding of the nearby Federal Highway 466 and, further along, the villages in the Stubental Valley up to the town of Heidenheim. The crest of the dam is 150 meters long, and its highest point is almost 13 meters above the valley floor.

St. Laurentius Chapel (Hürbelsbach Chapel)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Laurentius Chapel in Hürbelsbach, which is over 1,100 years old.
The chapel, which is now isolated in a forest-lined meadow, was the parish church of a settlement until 1493, which around 1500 consisted only of the chapel itself and a sacristan's house and is absolutely worth seeing.

Admittedly, I only rode the 108 km of Tour 3 up and over the Alb, then there were still a good 40 km to Esslingen. The RTF in cake is not only recommended because of the pastry of the same name and just as delicious grilled food, but also because of the well-scouted and nice to ride waves of the …
