Location

Bad Urach, a piece of foresty steep slope

Participants

Ekorren went there by bike

Expedition

This should have been a "collecting kilometres" trip - but, as always with my trips, I couldn't get myself to take the fast and boring route. So I didn't go along the valley but instead went to Grafenberg first, from there up the Albtrauf to Kohlberg, then along the mountainside and back into the valley not before Dettingen. Well, that was a lot more upwards slope, and partly bad trails, but with a number of really nice views from the mountains it actually was worth it.

I reached Bad Urach and went for the hash on the other side of a smaller valley. Climbed up on a small residential road, then a hiking path, then just through the forest. Surprisingly enough, the forest was easy to pass just where I needed it - in an otherwise extremely steep slope with lots of bushes and a few fences. When I reached the hash, the surprise was even larger: A little opening with a really good view over the city! So I had discovered a totally unknown but good viewpoint.

Went into town for a little time, then back home on a faster route. No unnecessary mountains this time ;)
