A fantastic route in beautiful natural surroundings, well-frequented on weekends when the weather is good, and a great cycling route that's easily accessible on both gravel and mountain bikes. Lautertal is a special highlight in any season.

One of the busiest valleys in the area—and for good reason. Very busy on weekends when the weather is good. The scenery is truly breathtaking, with numerous stops for postcard-worthy views.
