This detour from the Kocher-Jagst cycle path is approx. 1 km long and is definitely worth it. It's great to drive through the forest on different routes there and back.

Source of the Weiße Kocher

Highlight • River

The origin of the Kocher is a worthwhile excursion, especially in summer when it is very warm. It's nice and cool by the creek. However, you are usually not alone.

The source of the Weiße Kocher is a great destination. It is amazing how much water comes out of the mountain in wet weather. The Schwarze Kocher springs near Oberkochen.

It was a cool day, but unfortunately there weren't many insects. I had an extreme macro lens with me, and the light wind made it difficult to focus.
