September 21, 2024,KJ5 Unterwegs in den Seitentälern der Jagst – Radweg im Jagsttal

KJ5, beautiful, small, fine round🤩Pure nature and great paths. After Oberkessach it climbs slightly, you ride through the Kaiserhöhe golf course, then a moderate climb to Hopfengarten and then ....🚴‍♀️ the bike runs down through a wonderful landscape. The path only runs on the road between Leibenstadt and Korb, but we didn't encounter any vehicles. A short stop in Korb …

Here you can watch the tour:

Our last day in Möckmühl. We still had something to do, so the tour was a little shorter. In summary, it was our most scenic tour here. Varied, great cycle paths (side valleys, Limes cycle path and green spelt cycle path), wonderful views, lots of shade, car-free throughout.

Start in Möckmühl on the sports field after rams. From here we cycle along the beautiful Kessach valley through Unter- / Oberkessach until we turn left towards Merchingen golf course just before Merchingen at the clearly visible "Scaffolding" sculpture.
