A great, well-signposted bike path that runs along the Körsch River. No steep ramps, easy to navigate.

Almost always sunny on the bench. Almost always clear. Perfect for a pit stop, and you can either continue on through the Schaichtal valley, or come from there, or turn right at the bench onto a small trail that's easy to ride in the dry and takes you up the hill toward the B27.
