Insect hotels or insect houses are artificially created shelters, nesting and overwintering aids for insects. This one is located directly on the cycle path between Weil der Stadt and Merklingen at the supposedly highest point, namely at 420 meters above sea level.

The highest point on the cycling and hiking trail between Malmsheim and Weil der Stadt. There's an insect hotel here, which is ironically marked with the Würmtal Pass (420 m above sea level).

It's a nice climb, as the gradient is moderate and there's relatively little traffic. The downhill is also good, but you should be a bit more careful due to the numerous road defects, especially on the bends.

Great idea with the self-carved pass sign. The only thing missing is a small refuge. Is the owner reading this? 😁 It has now been fitted out as an insect hotel, presumably to speed up the slow bikers with "bee stings". 😁

"Pass" is undoubtedly a bit of an exaggeration, but you are definitely "at the top" of the hill here! 😛
