Deep valley trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Seems forever, even though it's only ten kilometers. It's going uphill all the time. Very pleasant to drive in the summer heat, as the forest provides shade and coolness.

A much sung about place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring always have a beneficial and invigorating effect.

Saying of the day at a restaurant in Blaubeuren!!!!

In my opinion, the long valley from Heroldstatt to Blaubeuren is the most beautiful route to Blaubeuren. More than 10km almost always in the shade in a fantastically beautiful valley on a gravel but well-paved path. Just the thing for really warm or hot weather.
