Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Jagstradweg is a generally underrated premium bike path.

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.

Härtsfeldbahn Rail Trail: Ziertheim to Wittislingen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A beautiful cycle path on the old Härtsfeld Railway embankment. Shady sections alternate with sunny ones, offering views of the Dattenhauser Ried. The road surface is mostly in good condition, but there are a few cracks and dents to watch out for.

Edit 01/2022: A short section (about 500 meters) has now been graveled. However, it is relatively fine gravel, so you can still ride there with a road bike.

Edit 03/2025: Almost all of the asphalt has now been removed and replaced with fine and slippery gravel. Unfortunately, the path is no longer suitable for road bikes.

Ballmertshofen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Ballmertshofen Castle, an interesting Renaissance building from the late 16th century, the seat of former local lords and now also used as a council and school house for the small Härtsfeld community, has housed a collection of around 400, which is probably unique in its richness, since 1978 - with an interruption in the 80s shown pictures and framed sayings from the farmhouses of Härtsfeld. The country doctor Dr. Horst Moeferdt has compiled the extensive collection of wall decorations from the 1950s onwards over decades. First and foremost, these are images of saints that were sold as mass prints by traveling traders or acquired at fairs and that adorned the "holy corner" of the farmers' rooms. But memories of baptism, first communion, confirmation, military service, wedding and death also play an important role.
