Highlight • Viewpoint

Perched on the south side of the blue valley. Nice to look at. For hardcore gravel fans there is a steep ascent to Klingenstein and then on to Harthausen.

Blaubeuren Hammer Forge

Highlight • Monument

On the terrace you sit right next to the Blautopf - when it's not full it's nice, but it can get very crowded.

Blautopf

Highlight • Lake

A much-sung place, which rightly belongs to one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the Alb. Summer, sun and the deep blue of the spring are always soothing and uplifting.

The weather was better than forecast today. Along the way, we had to avoid construction sites. On the way there, we walked under a bridge so low we had to bend down. On the way back, we had to push through construction debris. They could have cleaned up a bit.

Hardtail time to be on the road again. Bike park, trails and finally, for the sake of time, back on asphalt with a burger (I couldn't resist the food truck). Little going on and simply fantastic scenery.
