"Bike path" is a bit of a euphemism. Wide tires and suspension are definitely an advantage here. The path is really rough in places. Downhill, towards Calmbach, it's smooth, but you get quite jolted in places. Uphill, towards Aichhalden, on the other hand, it's strenuous due to the surface. I ride here often, but I find the gravel quite annoying. Only the section between Agenbacher Sägemühle and the campsite (Hofstett intersection) has nice, fine gravel and is accordingly enjoyable.

As a long-time salmon angler, I not only enjoyed the stretch through the forest, but also the Enz itself. Often forced by humans, many sections of it are one of the most beautiful waters I know.

A very beautiful and cool path along the Enz River. Especially pleasant to ride in midsummer.
