View of the Kochertal Bridge and Geislingen am Kocher

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the marked point you can mainly see the Kochertal Bridge. But somehow it belongs to Geislingen.

Old Town of Schwäbisch Hall

Highlight • Settlement

Schwäbisch Hall is a very well-preserved town on the Kocher River with countless half-timbered houses.

Tip by

The heart of Schwäbisch Hall is the spacious market square with the grand open staircase leading up to St. Michael's Church. Stand at the top and look out over the half-timbered roofs. The cityscape here has an aura that testifies to a long history as an important salt-producing town. Early in the morning or in the evening, when the light falls at an angle, it's all in a class of its own again.

Unspectacular relaxed tour in a beautiful landscape with the best late summer-early autumn weather. From Hall via Geislingen (Kocher), Vellberg, Sulzdorf back to Hall (destination: Unterwöhrd beer garden.) First at the Kocher, then along the Bühler. Pleasant to ride, only 2 longer climbs. Side streets with no traffic, some gravel, mostly bike paths.

October 8, 2024,Runde Schwäbisch Hall Geislingen Vellberg

Today we started in Schwäbisch Hall at 16 degrees and thick clouds along the Kocher. Via Gelbingen Untertürkheim and Enslingen to Geislingen then along the Bühler to Thalheim and Vellberg. The weather was no problem for our rain gear due to occasional light drizzle, but things were very different from Vellberg onwards. Persistent rain (we drove anyway😬) accompanied us all …

Today we had a test drive after the repair was completed - test passed! The tour starts in Geislingen, parking lot at the Bridge Museum. From there always follow the well-developed cycle path to Vellberg. Vellberg impresses with its medieval charm with the well-preserved city wall and half-timbered houses. From Vellberg you go back to Sulzdorf on a well-developed cycle …

June 18, 2025,Schwäbisch Hall: Kocher runter-Bühler hoch

The town of Schwäbisch Hall is a real eye-catcher. The panorama from the banks of the Kocher River is stunning. I clicked the shutter button on my camera every few meters.

But with the great weather, we wanted to continue our bike ride along the Kocher (the or the Kocher?) and its right tributary near Geislingen, the Bühler, up to …
