April 27, 2025,Waldenser-Tour - rund um Ötisheim und Maulbronn – Naturpark Stromberg-Heuchelberg

A wonderful circular tour with numerous viewpoints, picturesque half-timbered villages, and exhilarating descents. Our highlight was the wine tasting at Oberderdinger Horn. Dates can be found on the town of Oberderdingen's website. We rode by electric bike, and the tour has a fair amount of elevation gain.

Super nice bike tour, signposted as a Waldensian tour. Has beautiful quiet sections, it goes through forests and over fields, vineyards and small towns. Signage except in Knittlingen very good. Highly Recommended!
