    Follow the Würm from its source near Altdorf and Hildrizhausen to its mouth at Pforzheim. Rustic beech forest, bright orchards, picturesque towns and villages. Refreshing. Colorful. Magical!

    Good times for explorers: First cycle and marvel. Perceive nature and landscape. Keep your eyes open for the small, sometimes inconspicuous things at the roadside, which have so much to tell. How the Würm meanders! Sometimes more, sometimes less! Follow the river from its source to its mouth. A continuous cycle path away from roads on well-developed agricultural and forestry paths, family-friendly with few inclines. 

    The path is signposted with the "Würm.Rad.Weg" logo.

    Another highlight of this cycle route is that between Altdorf and Weil der Stadt it shares the route with the famous Sculptoura!

    Roadbook

    The Würm has two headstreams - the Hildrizhausen and the Altdorf Würm, which unite below the two communities and from there form the Würm. You can start your tour from either of the source points. From the station in Holzgerlingen, a signposted feeder path takes you to the Würm.Rad.Weg.

    From the source, we follow the river course through the picturesque Maurener valley to Ehningen. On the way further via Aidlingen and Grafenau to Weil der Stadt, you can enjoy orchards, structurally rich hedgerows, wetlands and fairy-tale-like juniper heaths. The historic old town invites you to take a break in Weil der Stadt. Then it continues via Merklingen and Hausen, partly along the water, partly on the heights above the river course heading north. Behind Tiefenbronn we enter the Unteres Würmtal nature reserve, where the Würm cuts deeply into the Buntsandstein and the forests become denser. We have arrived in the Northern Black Forest and can experience an unusual, indeed mystical atmosphere: a sea of stones, so-called blockfields, which are formed due to strong weathering. Through the shady forest, we follow the river course to the small village of Würm and further to the Golden City of Pforzheim.
