A really nice, varied and sporty tour! We had fantastic weather so we went all the way through in one piece, but there were lots of great views. Only the journey to Heubach was a bit difficult on Sundays.

Used the bridge day today to take the public transport to Schwäbisch Gmünd and then on to Heubach early in the morning. Actually a very great section, only one mango, there is at some point you walk on a side road with asphalt and cars that drive past you and not always slowly.
Otherwise great area I was really excited …
