Albtäler cycle tour by Klemens
June 12, 2025 · Community
Ich bin ca die halbe Tour von Geislingen nach Westerstetten in einem Rutsch gefahren und das war schon ganz schön anstrengend. Es sind sehr schöne Stücke dabei, aber auch ziemlich langweilige (auf der Albhochfläche). Es lohnt sich, die Tour vorher genau anzuschauen und ggf abzukürzen, denn es sind schon Schlenker dabei, wo man sich hinterher fragt "musste das jetzt sein?".
