the old railway line has already become a great bike path - unfortunately it's more of a dry spell in terms of gastronomy - at least on Mondays! References to supply stations are therefore welcome for everyone. I photographed some and published them on my Kocher-Jagst tour.

Also one of the truly ancient stone bridges on the Kocher River - it's a bit narrow when a car is coming the other way, but with mutual consideration, it's manageable. By the way, this bridge is a bridge without a name. I could only find the street name (Graf-von-Düren-Straße) and a few old pictures – but nothing of the bridge itself.
