Today was a beautiful, sunny tour ☀️and for once, without any construction. From Sindringen over the mountain to Jagsthausen, through the Jagst Valley to Hohebach, then over the mountain to the Kocher Valley. 😊

June 12, 2025,Radrunde Jagst-Kocher - Jagsthausen - Künzelsau

Starting on bikes in Jagsthausen, we cycled through Schöntal Monastery along the Jagst River, crossing the Kocher River to Künzelsau. Returning along the Kocher River via the cross-connection to Jagsthausen, this tour is very close to nature, along the rivers and cross-connections. The cross-connections have a fair amount of elevation gain, but there are also occasional gentle ups and downs …

I also took a …

May 18, 2025,Rundtour Kocher-Jagst-Radweg ab Sindringen

Our tour started in the medieval town of Sindringen (pottery market held annually). We enjoyed a beautiful bike ride along the Kocher and Jagst rivers.
The two longer climbs were manageable without much effort.
90% of the route is on well-maintained bike paths. The other 10% is on secondary roads, with only a small section on gravel.
At the end …
