Day tour on the Kocher-Jagst cycle path

A beautiful round. Well-signposted cycle paths, only the start in the morning was a bit bumpy due to the SüdLink construction site....🙃The only real climb is the change from the Kocher to the Jagst valley between Sindringen and Jagsthausen. The view from above is beautiful, but the wind was blowing well🌬🌬and the descent was (of course) also beeeaaaautiful. In the morning through the Kocher valley, which has more industry, the above-mentioned wind challenged us as a headwind, but then blew us back through the Jagst valley🌬. Simply beautiful with a tailwind🤗. The Jagst valley is much more natural, the path leads through river meadows and you can enjoy the wonderful landscape 🤩 In Möckmühl we went up the Schlossberg, right up to the castle, hence the close-ups. Then someone came and explained that it was private🫣because the gate was open we hadn't seen the sign 🙈Sorry😳

Today we went to Bad Friedrichshall with the bikes on the bike rack on the car. We went to Sindringen on the Kochertal cycle path, which runs along a former railway line, perfectly flat and with great asphalt. There we left the valley and went up the Limes cycle path with a steep incline over the ridge to Jagsthausen. From there we went back to Bad Friedrichshall on the Jagsttal cycle path, with significantly more ups and downs and much rougher asphalt. The Jagsttal cycle path runs along the Way of St. James, so today's tour was pilgrimage 2.0 for me too 😉 Overall a nice tour, although I liked the landscape in the Kochertal better. https://youtu.be/-Fulz4ytZ54?si=bzW9kRk0FHTuv1PP

The paths are all excellent and suitable for every bike. Refreshments are clearly arranged on the Jagst and are often only open from Wednesday to Sunday. I like the area very much and a detour to Bad Wimpfen is worth it!

There were plenty of parking spaces at the train station. During the week it's probably different. Then it costs money.

I've always wanted to do this route... and now it's finally happened. The route to Sindringen was beautifully sunny and flat... just the right thing for a morning warm-up... 🙂 ... then the short but challenging climb to the Edelmannshof housing estate with its water tower visible from afar. The return route through the Jagst Valley was more wooded and a bit hilly. Due to construction work (?), the cycle path from Heuchlinger Mühle to Bad Friedrichshall was completely closed - but the detour was well signposted.

Today was a wonderful tour, pure nature and water, great, even my bike buddy Klaus was really excited, we were of the opinion that we would definitely do it again 👍👍 vg Gerd
