The market square with its half-timbered showcase houses, the Protestant church and the market fountain are all calendar motifs.

A wide view of the Alb, a good surface, and a deep dip in the middle that lets you pick up speed for a bit. Always nice!

A good way to avoid the busy K1075. This parallel path between the road and the fields is completely deserted (apart from farmers). The surface is perfect, and the hills provide some variety (the road is flatter, but busy, and speed limits are more of a rough recommendation).

A beautiful bridge connects the village with the cycle path.

You can ride the short stretch from the turnoff to Mindersbach to the Pfrondorf Mill on the road and maintain a high speed. This is an attractive option during off-peak times. When traffic is heavy, which is often the case, you can also opt for the bike path – but you'll have to accept one or two steep climbs and a lower speed. The route is a bit more adventurous: first, a very steep, confusing section under the road, then over the wooden bridge, and then a steep climb again just before Emmingen.

A lovely, quiet town center with charming half-timbered houses. From west to east, toward Tennental and Gärtringen, the road is always downhill. At first glance, you wouldn't think that in the final days of the war, two-thirds of the town fell victim to bombs, leaving over 600 people homeless in one fell swoop. Reconstruction lasted until 1957 and involved redesigning the plots to create more space. The half-timbered houses were finally rebuilt according to the principles of the Heritage Architecture Association and can still be admired today. Incidentally, Deckenpfronn belonged to Calw until the end of 1972, before being incorporated into the Böblingen district on New Year's Day 1973.
