Highlight • River

This detour from the Kocher-Jagst cycle path is approx. 1 km long and is definitely worth it. It's great to drive through the forest on different routes there and back.

A beautiful, renewed sign has been attached to the powder beech tree at the source of the Kocher for a while now. An informative sign, albeit with sad content!

Source of the Weiße Kocher

Highlight • River

The origin of the Kocher is a worthwhile excursion, especially in summer when it is very warm. It's nice and cool by the creek. However, you are usually not alone.

After the WE purchase, we quickly searched for and found the coolness at the origin of the cooker. 😊⛄

It was a cool day, but unfortunately there weren't many insects. I had an extreme macro lens with me, and the light wind made it difficult to focus.

As soon as you leave the bus stop at the sports hall in Unterkochen, you can hear a loud splashing noise in the valley. The White Kocher is living up to its name these days with its white spray.
