Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Aalen à Schwäbisch Hall

This scenic ride takes you from the historic town of Aalen to the charming city of Schwäbisch Hall, covering around 65 km of mostly paved and quiet countryside roads. Starting in Aalen—a town known for its Roman past and the well-preserved Limes Museum—you’ll roll through the rolling hills of Baden-Württemberg, tackling a total ascent of nearly 900 meters along the way. Expect a good mix of surfaces, with plenty of smooth asphalt but also some gravel stretches to keep things interesting.

The route sticks mostly to quiet roads and tracks, making it a relaxing journey through lush forests, open farmlands, and small Swabian villages. The final leg sees you descending into Schwäbisch Hall, famous for its medieval timber-framed houses and vibrant arts scene. Take some time to explore the old town, maybe grab a coffee by the river Kocher—it’s a perfect reward for your efforts! Don’t forget your camera: both the start and end points offer plenty of picture-worthy moments.
