Hoher Gießel Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A great place where the Lauter rushes like a stream over several steps and small waterfalls. Here it is worthwhile to get off the bike and let the untouched nature work on you.

Love this ride! The section between Merklingen and to Feldstetten is nothing special, but from Feldstetten onwards it's just fabulous! Firstly across the closed roads and wide open spaces of the Münsingen military training area, then the lovely easy riding down the beautiful Gr. Lautertal. The Wolfstal is fantastic, twisty and atmospheric, and the long climb back up after that …
