Cycling

The state stud of Baden-Württemberg, which is one of four main studs in Germany, is located in Marbach. On this tour you will discover other horse pastures and farms in addition to the Marbach stud.

You start directly in Marbach, which has a train station. Then you drive up to Grafeneck to the memorial and can see an interesting exhibition about the dark time of the castle in the documentation center.

On the Fauserhöhe you immerse yourself in idyllic nature and can watch horses graze. Then you ride on a great bike path down to the Lautertal. You follow the Lauter until you get back to Marbach.

Grafeneck Memorial and Documentation Center

Highlight • Historical Site

The detour to Grafeneck is a must on this route. Here you can see and read about the wickedness of human activity.

Fauserhöhe Pony Farm

Highlight • Rest Area

From the Fauserhöhe to the level crossing in the direction of Marbach, you can let your bike roll in a very relaxed manner. Partly tarred road, partly easy to drive (because it is very compact) dirt road. But in the other direction (up the "mountain") you can drive well even in summer, as the whole route leads through the forest.

Marbach State Stud

Highlight • Historical Site

In spring, when the foals are out in the pasture, this is a real highlight, and not just for children. A kiosk is available.
