View of Schloss Klingenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Perched on the south side of the blue valley. Nice to look at. For hardcore gravel fans there is a steep ascent to Klingenstein and then on to Harthausen.

This is a great place to really let it all go. A perfect bike path, wide enough and with a good surface. Scenic and far, far away from cars.
