Discover the region

Geographically, Täferrot lies in the middle of the Swabian Forest and thus offers a breathtaking backdrop of forests, hills and lakes. Particularly well known are the three hamlets of Höfen, Roßberg and Schönbronn, as well as the idyllic little river Rot.

Touristically relevant are above all the numerous sights of historical significance, such as the Roman tower or the moated castle of Täferrot. There are also cultural highlights to discover here: The annual village festival attracts visitors from near and far.

Culinary Täferrot has a lot to offer: Here you can enjoy regional specialities such as Maultaschen or Spätzle with sauce. Equally recommendable are the excellent wines from the region.

For outdoor activities, summer is the best season. Hikes through the Swabian Forest or cycling tours along the river Rot become an unforgettable experience here. In winter, the nearby Hirtenteich ski area invites you to go cross-country skiing or downhill skiing.

Even in rainy weather, you don't have to miss out on activities: A visit to the local history museum offers an interesting insight into the history of Täferrot and the surrounding area.

Where is the most beautiful place in Täferrot? That's hard to say, because every place has its own charm. However, the walks along the river Rot or hikes through the forest with breathtaking views of the surrounding area are particularly idyllic.

    Super Tour, ohne jegliche Abstriche! (Wir sind allerdings in umgekehrter Richtung gefahren, um den längeren Anstieg von Täferrot auf der Landstraße zu vermeiden). Tipp: Abstecher zum Ostkastell und/oder zum Biergarten in Welzheim Achtung: ziemlich gefährliche, extrem steile, holprige Abfahrt vom Hagbergturm nach Horlachen (Schritttempo fahren oder absteigen)!

    Sehr ruhige Etappe, recht eben und viel Asphalt, aber schöner Ausblick Eichtung Aalen, Heubach und die Kaiserberge. Und wenn einem die dasselbe Wegeführung entlang der Strasse nervt, darf man auch gern selbst in die Karte der App schauen und andere Wege gehen, abseits der Straße. Das tut dem Ausblick auf die oben genannten Berge keinen Abbruch.

    Nach dem Rehnenmühlen Stausee geht es ein gutes Stück an der Straße entlang. Sie ist nicht viel befahren allerdings ist dieser Wegabschnitt nicht so toll. Kurz vor Striethof kommt ein Weg den man auf Grund von Privatbesitz nicht betreten darf. Wir haben uns dann bergauf quer durch den Wald gekämpft... Ansonsten: so toller mit Moos bewachsener Wald. Kaum Menschen... einfach herrlich!!!

    Eine sehr reizvolle und landschaftlich extrem abwechslungsreiche Tour - absolut empfehlenswert. Aber....es ist keine leichte Tour! Neben den Steigungen, die eine gute Grundkondition verlangen, sind vor allem die Abfahrten auf Schotter und in den Wäldern anspruchsvoll und für Ungeübte sehr anstrngend - technisch. Wir sind am Busbahnhof Abtsgmünd gestartet, es ist nicht empfehlenswert, die Richtung der Runde zu ändern!!
