Altenbergturm:
42.5 m high, it stands on the Altenberg, the highest elevation of the Schwäbisch Hall district at 564 m above sea level. The tower is open around the clock.
Einkorn:
a 510 m above sea level rocky spur near Hessental, a district of Schwäbisch Hall. On it stands the ruins of a baroque pilgrimage church dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers and the observation tower Einkornturm (14 m high).
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
We start at the parking lot of the Altenbergturm in Hohenberg. First, we cycle through the village of Hohenberg – through the hamlet of Kohlwald (Waldhorn: restaurant with beer garden) and continue to the turnoff to Sulzbach am Kocher. Now a long, pleasant downhill ride leads to the town of Sulzbach. There we meet the Kocher-Jagst cycle route. We follow the cycle path towards Gaildorf, Schwäbisch Hall. Further on towards Rosengarten. After the town of Westheim, we leave the Kocher-Jagst cycle route towards Michelbach, Rauhenbretzingen. We ride along the railway line to Rauhenbretzingen towards Einkorn. There are several ways to overcome the climb to the Einkorn. No matter which – once at the top awaits a beer garden, a restaurant, and a paragliding launch site.
After a break and possibly a view from the tower, we return initially on Einkornstraße – wide and paved. At a parking lot, we then turn right into the forest. Here there is only a gravel path left, the Kohlenstraße. We continue straight past numerous wind turbines. We cross the L1066 and continue straight ahead. Then – right by a wind turbine, we must turn right towards Sulzbach! We always stay on this road, even if the cycle route now turns left. We stay towards Kohlwald (Jörgenhaus). Now the Altenbergturm is already signposted and we are on the same path as on the outward journey. One small climb more – then we are back at the parking lot. Those who wish can still climb the tower and afterwards stop by the snack station below.
