The tour kicks off with a focus on Hohenzollern Castle, which sits majestically atop a solitary hill. Narrow roads wind their way up to the Zellerhorn, offering a spectacular view of the castle’s intricate architecture and its numerous turrets. Afterward, the focus shifts entirely to the single trails. You ride to the fox farm and shortly thereafter branch off onto the Kretentrail, a four-kilometer S1-rated trail leading to Himberg. From there, the route descends directly to Jungingen, though the switchbacks—especially in the upper section—are in some places unrideable. These zigzagging paths are typical of the Swabian Alb, though in this case there is no more sensible way to get from the ridge down into the valley. Without the tight hairpin turns, the route would be technically straightforward to ride.

In Jungingen, you switch to the other side of the valley and reach the next Krete Trail shortly after Ringingen. This time, the route stretches for ten kilometers along the ridge. On this S1 trail, you almost get carried away by the thrill of the ride. Down to the Bergrutsch, as the small pass is called, follows an attractive and twisty descent on singletrack without switchbacks. Instead of turning off immediately after Mössingen, an additional loop to the Farrenberg airfield is included. This allows you to ride the third Kretentrail of the day, which is short but leads to the Bismarckkopf. From there, another first-class descent takes you down to the valley floor near Mössingen. For the return trip to Bisingen, you can take the train via Hechingen.
