Baden-Württemberg is a developing country. At least when it comes to its gastronomic offerings, especially beer gardens.

This tour was missing from my list of Tübingen cycling tours: the Vespertour (Vesper Tour).
It's also labeled that way on the komoot maps. The start and finish points make it clear who sponsored the whole thing, so whatever.

Beautiful bike tour along the Starzel. Landscape is reminiscent of the Danube Valley. Easy to drive, usually without any problems. Thumbs up for the beautiful autumnal landscape
