The small valley route connects the Nagoldtalradweg via the small Enz valley with the Enztalradweg to form a circular route of about 115 km. The two extremely scenic cycle paths along the Nagold and Enz rivers pass by numerous spas and historic places.
The small valley route offers a connection from the Nagold valley with a gentle ascent on low-traffic roads via Berneck to the Black Forest heights near Hofstett. From there, the bike tour leads down paved forest paths into the small Enz valley and onto Bad Wildbad-Calmbach. It continues to Pforzheim and from there back via the Nagoldtalradweg.
On the small valley route, the cyclist passes highlights such as the gold town of Pforzheim, the spa town of Bad Liebenzell with its large spa park, Hirsau monastery, the Hermann Hesse town of Calw, the shepherd town Wildberg, and of course the bustling town of Nagold with its castle ruins.
The route mostly runs on paved cycle paths, partly also on gravel forest paths.
