Maps and trails
Gomadingen is located at the foot of the Swabian Alb and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. There are many hiking trails through forests and valleys as well as picturesque cycle paths along rivers such as the Danube or the Lauter.

A tourist attraction is Grafeneck Castle with its impressive Renaissance style from the 16th century. Another highlight are the caves near Laichingen - a fascinating world of underground lakes and stalactites.

Gomadingen also has a lot to offer culturally: The annual "Hohle Fels" music festival attracts thousands of visitors every year, while the Klostermühle museum provides an insight into the history of the village.

From a culinary point of view, you should definitely try the regional delicacy Spätzle - they are prepared traditionally here! Other Swabian dishes such as Maultaschen or Kutteln are also on many menus.

For outdoor activities, spring to autumn are particularly recommended as the best seasons for hiking or cycling. In winter, however, you can also go skiing in the nearby Hohenbol ski area or cross-country skiing on groomed trails around Gomadingen.

If it rains, there is still plenty to do. Visit the thermal baths in Bad Urach, for example, or take a trip to nearby Stuttgart for a cultural voyage of discovery.

Where is it most beautiful? We recommend the lookout point "Hohenstein" - from here you have a breathtaking view of the Swabian Alb and the surrounding landscape.

Overall, Gomadingen is a beautiful destination with many opportunities for relaxation and recreation. A must for every travel guide!

    Wunderschöne Herbstwanderung für eine Auszeit auf der schwäbischen Alb. Auch mit Kindern toll um zwischendurch Rast an einer der Grillstellen zu machen.

    Eine wunderschöne, aber anspruchsvolle Tour, die eher nicht für Anfänger geeignet ist. Die abwechslungsreichen Wege und Pfade sind einfach fantastisch. An einigen Stellen ist eine gute Fahrradbeherrschung gefragt, besonders bei steilen Anstiegen und Abfahrten. Insgesamt eine tolle und abwechslungsreiche Tour!

    Gemütliche Runde, heute leider entgegen der Vorhersage doch mit einem Regenguss, sodass wir leider keine gute Sicht vom Sternbergturm hatten. Der Pfad beim Abstieg vom Sternberghaus war etwas rutschig. Dafür war der Wiesenweg durch die Wacholdeheide traumhaft.

    Die Tour ist wirklich schön. Lautertal ist halt einfach fantastisch. Und die Alb im Herbst bei Sonnenschein - ein Traum. Wir haben noch ein paar Schlenker eingebaut auf unbefestigten Wegen. Die Bäckerdichte ist sehr gering - nur Gomadingen und Münsingen.

    Sehr schöne Tour, lediglich auf dem letzen Abschnitt auf dem Radweg bleiben, ansonsten landet man auf einem Waldweg, mit viel Matsch und Gestrüpp.

    Bin die Tour als Gravelbike-Runde mit Start in Upfingen bei Temperaturen um 0° gefahren, die Sehenswürdigkeiten habe ich weitgehend ignoriert. Bei angenehmeren Temperaturen werde ich sie aber bestimmt auch noch mit dem Trekking-Rad als Genießer-Tour in Angriff nehmen.

    sehr schöne Tour durch herrliche Landschaft. Allerdings würde ich raten, die Tour anders herum, gegen den Uhrzeigersinn zu fahren. Dadurch hat man die landschaftlich und streckentechnisch reizvolle Strecke in der 2. Hälfte und dort dann auch gemütliche Einkehrmöglichkeiten im Lautertal. Die Streckenführung über die Albhochfläche verläuft weitestgehend auf Autostraßen. Diese lassen sich jedoch gut umgehen.
