October 2, 2023,Balingen: Burg Hohenzollern - Starzel Runde

At the beginning you always have Hohenzollern Castle in view. Great landscape, in places the cycle path runs along very busy roads.

Beautiful relaxed Sunday tour through the Swabian Jura with great views of Hohenzollern Castle. An ideal tour for autumn as there are no large and dangerous (because of leaves) descents.
But you should do the tour on Sundays because you sometimes have to go through Balingen and Hechingen and the traffic is just more relaxed there. 👍🤩

Very beautiful scenery. The route selection isn't always optimal. A stop at the Roman estate near Stein.

Great tour with no major problems, paved roads except for a short stretch near Owingen.
The highlight was Café Charlotte in Haigerloch. Cozy, great view, very friendly, and the cake delicious.
