From Ehingen through beautiful river landscapes - On the bike in the Alb-Donau-Kreis

Made a wonderful four valley tour from Schmiechen today. In the Schmiechtal and Schandental I was even on my own. In the Großer Lautertal there was more bicycle traffic, but it was also limited. The weather was also fine, just a few drops after the lunch break. If you like a lot of nature, this tour is the right one for you. Only in the Danube Valley is it not that great Unfortunately, what doesn't fit now is the order of the pictures.

I got the tour from the tourism side of the Alb-Donau district https://www.tourismus.alb-donau-kreis.de/de/urlaubsthemen/radfahren/erlebnistouren/ We started in Schmiechen and drove along the Danube via Ehingen, Rottenacker and Munderkingen, although the route only becomes really beautiful from Munderkingen. The Lautertal is a pleasure by bike anyway. Unfortunately, you have to drive a bit on the road in the direction of Bremelau. Then it will be car-free and very beautiful in the Heutal, Schandental and Schmiechtal valleys.

Today we went to the Alb 😊 I had heard of Lautertal several times ... and a tour awaited us that couldn't have been nicer! 😃 The route led us through the valley of the (great) Lauter, we continued along the Danube (although: the section around Ehingen is unfortunately "less beautiful" - I will try to avoid it next time!), From there back to the Schmiechtal and over the Schandental. A dream!! I am flashed to tal! 😃 The Lautertal in particular is a stunner! 👌🏻👍🏻 If you don't know it yet, you should do so soon. The Lautertal cycle path deserves five ⭐! Hammer! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I would like to thank the Haibike rider who inspired me to do this tour (I basically followed his lap on April 26th). 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That was another nice tour today - and that with wonderful weather! The special highlight today was the valley of the Lauter framed by high mountains, the picturesque rocks of which give this valley a special character! The tour is easy to drive, there are no big strenuous inclines. It is therefore not surprising that there are a lot of people here! Shortly before huts, however, I left the bike path on the way back because I treated myself to a small mountain. So in the end there was actually something of an MTB feeling ... 👍😊😇
