Maps and trails
Geographically, Berkheim lies on the edge of the Swabian Alb and is surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque valleys. The region is known for its breathtaking scenery and a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. Here you will also find numerous lakes for fishing or swimming as well as forests with lots of wildlife.

One of Berkheim's main attractions are its historic buildings, including the 16th century castle and various churches and chapels. The local history museum provides an insight into the history of the town and its inhabitants.

Cultural highlights include the annual town festival in summer and concerts by local bands on the market square during the warmer months. Culinary delights can be enjoyed in the local restaurants - be sure to try the regional specialities such as Maultaschen or Spätzle!

If it rains, culture enthusiasts can plan a visit to the museum or retreat to the local cinema. A relaxing wellness weekend in a nearby thermal spa can also be a worthwhile alternative in bad weather.

Berkheim is beautiful at any time of year: in spring, everything is in bloom and invites you to take walks through fields full of flowers; in summer, the clear waters of the lakes entice you to take a dip; in autumn, the leaves of the trees change colour and provide a picturesque backdrop for walks; in winter, you can go skiing or ice skating.

Overall, Berkheim is a destination that is definitely worth a visit. This Travel Guide will give you all the information you need to make your stay unforgettable!

    Ich habe die Tour am vermeintlich letzten Sommertag gemacht und war mit meinem Crossbike (kein eBike) bei durchaus spürbarem Wind unterwegs. Eine sehr schöne Runde auf weit überwiegend guten Nebenstrecken und Radwegen. Zwei, für Normalradler durchaus fordernde Steigungen, einmal im Wald, kurz nach Rot a.d. Rot und einmal in Steinhausen/Rottum. Die bereits beschriebene Schotterstrecke ist aus meiner Sicht ein "normaler" Waldweg, ohne besondere Anforderungen und ist sogar deutlich kürzer, als im Streckenprofil aus den Belagsarten zu ersehen. Zur Einkehr kann ich das Gasthaus/Pension "Linde" in Rot a.d. Rot - https://linde-rot.de - empfehlen, das etwa auf der Hälfte der Distanz liegt. Ich habe für die Runde rd. 3:15 Stunden reine Fahrzeit gebraucht und hatte inkl. einer Runde durch Gutenzell, allerdings ohne die Runde in Rot, am Ende knapp 66 km auf dem Tacho. Vielen Dank an Heiner für die wirklich sehr gut ausgewählte und beschriebene Runde.

    Schöne Tour. Die Querung vom Rot- zum Rottumtal führte auf Schotter- und teilweise auf Waldwegen durch Wald und war deshalb, auch wegen der Steigungen, einigermaßen anstrengend und unangenehm zu fahren. Wir fuhren auf normalen Trekking-Rädern. Wir hatten die Tour zudem auf 50 km verkürzt, indem wir Schönebürg als Start und Ziel unserer Fahrt nahmen.
