Essingen–Lauterburg Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Narrow and winding road, no hard shoulder, no overtaking, traffic: here you are overtaken scarcely and quickly when you sneak up the mountain. Possibly a better alternative via loudspeakers.

12% Descent to Heubach

Highlight • Trail

Well-developed descent with an even gradient in the direction of Heubach. More suitable for the descent, since there is a lot of traffic.

Ascent of the Alb at Geopark Schwäbische Alb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The road is a bit busier, but it's still fun. The asphalt is easy to ride on with a racing bike.
