Münsingen Plateau Cycle Route, Swabian Jura Biosphere Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Away from the traffic, cycling can be very good here. Around the typical landscape of the Alb such. Juniper heaths and except the blocks of sheep or the chirping of birds an almost unfamiliar peace.

Path Along the River Blau

Highlight • Cycleway

July 2, 2025,Gruorn zum Feierabend 🌞🌄🚴🏼‍♂️

Arrived in Gruorn around 8:00 PM, and it's never been so idyllic...hundreds of sheep scattered around the grounds, super-comfortable temperatures...and crickets chirping everywhere.
Grabbed a tetra pack of iced tea and a pretzel in Laichingen...and headed home.
Still, hot + fast = empty legs 😁
No matter...it was awesome 🤩
