Blaubeurer Steige Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

In 2021, the cycle path along the Steige was redeveloped. With gradients between 2 and 7 percent, however, it is easy to manage.

This is a great place to really let it all go. A perfect bike path, wide enough and with a good surface. Scenic and far, far away from cars.

Better known as Rusenschloss. Very nicely restored and secured. Definitely worth cycling there (from the Alb).
