Bike Tour at the Jagst
oboehm, 14:44h
On Friday when we packed our bags for a bike tour thru the Jagst valley we realized that Manuel's bag he got from his host parents for his additional baggage fits exactly in our bicycle trailer. Unfortunately the trailer hitch fits only at my bike so I had to pull for the next three days 25 kg additional weight.
On Saturday first we went by streetcar from Gerlingen to Stuttgart and then by train to Aalen. It was a little bit stressful for me to get both, bicycle and trailer, into the wagon and elevators (at the railway station) but with the help of Manuel and Philip we managed it.
In Aalen we had some difficulties to find the right direction but at last we found the bicycle path to the Jagst. Our first break was at a reservoir (Bucher Stausee).
We had planned to stay overnight at Crailsheim but we decided to go on to Kirchberg where we found a little inn at Lendsiedel. Most of the time Philip and Manuel cycled several 100 meters in front of my wife and me. I also changed the bike with Philip but nevertheless he cycled in front of me. This day we travelled about 75 km (47 miles).
It although went up and down on Sunday and we cycled about 90 km (56 miles), before we reached Möckmühl. On Monday we visited Bad Wimpfen, an old town above the Neckar. We climbed on the "Blue Tower" where you have a great view over the Neckar valley. Next station was Heilbronn where we entered the train back to Stuttgart.
