The Schäffler Trail

Mountain bike · 38 km · Around 3.5 hours · 880 metres of ascent · Moderate

One of the area’s better-known loops, named after the trail that holds it together and featuring a viewpoint called Knetschwasen.

The climb is long but steady. At the top, the view opens out over Kappelrodeck and the vineyards: a good place for the first long break.

The Black Forest trail towards Spinnerhof is the section you come for. The return passes the Illenau, the former institution in Achern that now houses the town hall, a museum and a bistro.
