Medium Ettlingen MTB round

After the start at the parking lot in front of "bei der Hell" and at the Horbachquell biotope on the Panoramaweg to the ascent of the Richard-Massinger-Weg (extension Wilhelmstraße). Follow the Richard-Massinger-Weg (blue diamond) to Schluttenbach. At the Schluttenbach town hall, turn into Waldstraße to Rimmelsbacher Hof and drive to Carl-Schöpf-Hütte - the highest point of the route. Back a short distance on the same route, then onto the "Griebenweg" to Schöllbronn. There, on the edge of town, cross Schwester-Baptista-Straße the L 613 country road (caution!), to the cemetery and then over Neuroder Straße to the left into Solbrunnenweg to the "Windwiesen". After the Windwiesen, turn right descending from Forstziehweg, take the singletrail down to the Albtal, take Graf-Rhena-Weg and follow it to the tennis courts shortly before the Albgau outdoor pool. Here either 200 m straight ahead to the start/finish, or right over the Alb bridge towards Wattkopf for the second half of the route:

After crossing Pforzheimer Straße (caution!) near the car dealership, uphill on "Vogelsruhweg" to the hunting lodge/Fuchsbauweg. After the hunting lodge cross Fuchsbauweg and take the easy singletrail "Grenzweg", which is initially flat, then downhill to Grünwettersbacher Weg. Past the wildlife enclosure follows a gravel descent on the Edelbergweg. Pay attention to the turn-off left to the short singletrail ascent "Gockelsweg", then back on gravel roads first towards Essigwiesenklamm, from there to the Wattkopf tower. Take the trail left to Friedrichshütte, which becomes a bit more challenging in the second part. At the end turn right to the Bismarck Tower and continue to the Vogelsang parking lot. Then back to the starting point via Steigenhohl-, Vogelsang-, Friedrich- and Schöllbronner Straße.
