Climb to Kapfenburg Castle

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

It is not only recommended for racing bikes to take the short stretch of road. Even if, depending on the time of day, a few or many cars drive there, most drivers are cautious.
Up or down the steep and stony hump to Kapfenburg is not exactly a pleasure with approx. 20%, especially if you have loads of luggage with you and is only feasible with the racing bike if you want to kill the wheels.
But even for trekking bikes it is more of an imposition than a smooth ride.
Therefore, and in that case: rather on the street!

Bucher Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

For the Bucher reservoir the Jagst is dammed up to a not so small lake. On the south side there is a longer sandy beach, which gets full quickly in good weather. If you need a little something to eat or drink, you will find a good offer at the kiosk on the beach. The bike path on the north side is beautifully idyllic on the water. Of course, many walkers and excursionists are also on the way here.

Bucher Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Buch reservoir is always worth a visit. The lake is beautifully laid out and the surrounding area is a feast for the eyes. The water playground on the lake is a highlight for young and old. The old Roman facilities next to the lake are also worth seeing for those interested in history. Further up is a replica of the Roman tower and next to it a ruined tower.

Very nice newly created adventure playground right on the lake. Right next to it with a large sandy beach and kiosk.

Buch Roman Fort (Rainau-Buch)

Highlight • Historical Site

You can get a pretty good idea of the dimensions of the fort. The Limes passed here and there is also the beautifully restored Limes Gate to discover a little further.
In Roman times, where the lake is now there was a kiln in which the bricks were burned. For fire safety reasons it had to be some distance away from the fort.
Overall quite interesting and worth a visit. Of course you can also relax and enjoy various delicacies at the cafe further up front!

Wasseralfingen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Along with the old church, the castle is the oldest building in Wasseralfingen. It goes back to the Knights of Ahelfingen, who built and lived there. In the older documents it is primarily referred to as a “castle” or “fortress”, which suggests that it was initially a defensive structure. As such, it dates back to the early Alemannic period. The school for the speech impaired has been housed in the building since 1992.
