From my own experience, I highly recommend family trips on the Öchsle Railway, as well as the Railway Adventure Day. The Öchsle Railway staff are very professional, and you get a fascinating insight into the operation of a railway.

Öchsle Cycle Path: Ringschnait to Ochsenhausen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice bike path between the two places. Partially separated from the road, it rolls relaxed through the landscape. Tarmac is good.

Do you know that feeling: when you go for a walk on the mountain?
We did that today 😄. That means we rode the beautiful Öchsle cycle path and visited the Music Spring in Biberach.
The Öchsle cycle path leads through the wonderful landscape in Upper Swabia, undulating with good visibility today - a delight. At lunchtime we visited Biberach …

Another attempt to get to my destination by train, which once again failed miserably 😢😢😢
The bike path itself was easy to ride, with a few personal deviations!
A beautiful day 👍

After the morning's rain, I headed for coffee in a sometimes gusty westerly wind via Hofstetter Hof (organic grocery store) to Birkenhard.
And since traveling the same route there and back isn't really my thing, I cycled back along the Öchsle Cycle Path. This included a pumpkin workshop and an encounter with the Öchsle.

Today we cycled via Biberach along the Öchsle cycle path. The opportunity to stop at the Ponyhof Bareis was very limited, as the beer garden only had a self-service fridge without glasses. A stop was therefore not worthwhile.

A lap along the Öchsle narrow-gauge railway line. We drove from the hotel to Warthausen, from there along the cycle path to Ochsenhausen and back to the hotel. The cycle path near Goppertshofen is currently being renewed (10/11/23). A diversion is signposted.
