A street reminiscent of the 1960s, flanked by the Fils River.

The Alb Valley Cycle Path is recommended. Great cycle paths of all types, beautiful nature and on day 3 it goes quite uphill.

The western loop of the Alb valley, from Amstetten station to Geislingen, was a must-do in early summer temperatures.

First we had to climb a few meters in altitude and then we went up and down over the Albhöhe in lively ups and downs. Beautiful views in the distance alternated with "dives" into small, rocky dry valleys.

We started in Bad Ditzenbach and drove to the Filsquelle. Great and very interesting landscapes and beautiful views. At the Ostlandkreuz we wanted to avoid the road and tried to ride on the hiking trail. But we failed miserably 🤷‍♀️Too steep, too slippery and too narrow. Then we went back and unfortunately ended up on the road to Geislingen. The …

Beautiful little towns like Bad Überkingen or Wiesensteig are worth a look. The cycle path runs mainly off the road through meadow orchards and along the Fils, which I …

Through the Hasental Valley, we cycle once again up to the high …
