German Half-Timbered Road Blaubeuren – Riedlingen

Leaving the Blautopf city of Blaubeuren towards Schelklingen, our bike path leads through the picturesque Achtal valley, taking us over a very beautiful section to the "Hohle Fels," which has recently gained fame due to the spectacular discovery of the "Venus of Hohle Fels." This prehistoric site is one of the largest cave halls in the Swabian Alb. The route continues through Schmiechen to Allmendingen. Through the GeoPark Swabian Alb, it passes caves, grottos, and the impressive rock shelters of the "Lutheran mountains."

From the beer culture city of Ehingen on the Danube, we cycle further to Munderkingen. Both towns impress with beautiful old towns, impressive half-timbered buildings, and interesting sights. Our idyllic bike path mostly follows the picturesque Danube to Untermarchtal, known for its monastery, the Vincentian Sisters’ educational house, and Untermarchtal Castle.

After leaving the town, we encounter interesting rock formations and soon arrive at a pleasant rest area directly on the Danube. After the Obermarchtal junction, a steep climb of about 15% must be tackled. At the top ridge lies the town of Rechtenstein. From the bergfried of the former Rechtenstein castle, the view over the Danube valley is breathtaking. The path then descends into the valley, and after Datthausen, a very steep descent awaits us. Passing through Zwiefaltendorf and Bechingen, we finally reach our destination in Riedlingen. The traditional small town lies between the Bussen (767 m) and the Swabian Alb.
