It starts at the train station in Merklingen. From here you cycle via Laichingen to Feldstetten and then take your gravel tires to the former military training area in Münsingen. On this unique section of the route you have a vision that is second to none. Thanks to the numerous sheep along the way, the scenery is also a bit reminiscent of Scotland. Holiday feeling par excellence and definitely a real highlight on the trip.
After you have passed Münsingen, you will soon dive into the beautiful Große Lautertal, through which a wonderful gravel path leads. With shining eyes, you follow the playful loops of the river and pass several fairytale castles. There are numerous opportunities for a picnic or a leisurely break along the way. Simply choose a barbecue area of your choice and enjoy the atmosphere in this great valley.
Shortly before Lauterach you leave the Große Lautertal and drive through the idyllic Wolfstal up towards Bremelau, where after the steep climb you can fortify yourself in a nice farm café and recharge your batteries for the onward journey.
Then you continue rolling until you can once again enjoy the gravel slopes on the former military training area. From here you go back to Merklingen via Laichingen, where you can stock up on a few drinks and snacks in a kiosk before you get on the train and start your journey home - with unforgettable impressions in your luggage.
