Tips from the Community
The Wurmlinger Kapelle is visible from afar. Whether from the Ammertal or from the Hirschauer Baggerseen, it looks good from all sides.

Probably the most beautiful part on the Ammer. From St. Stephanus Church to Poltring Water Castle. Whether horses, llamas or water rats, everything frolics here

A very nice, fast-flowing path for leisurely biking with side strips for pedestrians.

Start of the Würm Valley. Runs great. If needed, continue to (or from) Dätzingen or Weil der Stadt.

A fantastic route with rolling hills and not much traffic. The visual highlight is the late Gothic church from the 15th century in the center of the village. I always enjoy cycling here!

The bends just before Rohrau are always a highlight on the downhill. Your concentration on the road can easily obscure the magnificent view from "up there." After that, you practically shoot into town. You should be a bit careful here because of the parked cars on the outskirts (strictly speaking, the speed limit is 30 km/h in town, and you should at least be ready to brake). The route is also great as a climb, as there's usually less traffic. Once you've overcome the switchbacks, the final third of the route follows a gentle downhill slope behind the crest toward the Hildrizhausen/Herrenberg junction.

It's difficult to fully recommend this route. Sure, it's a beautiful ride through the forest. However, the surface is rough in places, and there are a few narrow spots (where the median is missing). It's busy during the week and on sunny weekends. At least the gentle gradient towards Hildrizhausen (1-2%, with a brief 4% gradient in two places) means you can get through it quickly, and it's all over with. Unfortunately, there's virtually no alternative to the route unless you want to ride on gravel. In the evenings, after the rush hour, it's relatively quiet here—that's when it's fun to ride.
