Talsteußlingen Water Wheel

Highlight • Monument

The wheel you see here was the driving wheel of the former Talsteußlingen grain mill for over 80 years. It was removed in 1985 and installed on the Schmiech.

Buchtal

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The path through the Buchtal leads you through unspoilt forest. The nature here is impressive and you can really experience it up close. Despite the loose ground, the path is easy to drive on.

The track is really very nice. Only the hardly used railway line and the bike path. Lots of nature and tranquility...

Wonderfully quiet valley with no roads or traffic, there is only the field path and the Swabian Alb Railway. The path is bumpy from time to time and has potholes, but the juniper heather slopes and the landscape are incomparable.
