A lovely, quiet town center with charming half-timbered houses. From west to east, toward Tennental and Gärtringen, the road is always downhill. At first glance, you wouldn't think that in the final days of the war, two-thirds of the town fell victim to bombs, leaving over 600 people homeless in one fell swoop. Reconstruction lasted until 1957 and involved redesigning the plots to create more space. The half-timbered houses were finally rebuilt according to the principles of the Heritage Architecture Association and can still be admired today. Incidentally, Deckenpfronn belonged to Calw until the end of 1972, before being incorporated into the Böblingen district on New Year's Day 1973.

The bends just before Rohrau are always a highlight on the downhill. Your concentration on the road can easily obscure the magnificent view from "up there." After that, you practically shoot into town. You should be a bit careful here because of the parked cars on the outskirts (strictly speaking, the speed limit is 30 km/h in town, and you should at least be ready to brake). The route is also great as a climb, as there's usually less traffic. Once you've overcome the switchbacks, the final third of the route follows a gentle downhill slope behind the crest toward the Hildrizhausen/Herrenberg junction.

Be careful when crossing the street. It's a dangerous spot. And always keep to the right around bends, as there's a lot of bicycle traffic on the road.

A good surface leads through the forest between Deckenpfronn and Gültlingen. In the middle, it gets steep for a few meters (8-15%), but otherwise the gradient remains pleasantly moderate (2-6%). Buchenstraße is a dead-end for cars, so you're undisturbed from the sports field onwards. What more could you want?
