There was a lot of excursion traffic on Sunday. We took the route from Philippsburg via Erbsenthal. That was quieter!

A lovely picnic area with a fountain. Ideal for cooling off on hot days. But unfortunately, there's no drinking water.

A place to linger on the Rodalb River – a new seating area invites you to pause. Since May 14, 2025, a lovingly designed seating area has enhanced the popular bridge crossing on the Rodalb River. Directly next to the babbling stream and surrounded by lush greenery, a weatherproof rest area with solid wooden benches and a table was built at this idyllic spot – a place to take a breather, have a picnic, or simply enjoy nature. What makes this place special: The new seating area was installed by volunteers – a strong symbol of civic engagement and a vibrant community. Thanks to the "Häädler" (sorry if the spelling is incorrect), another resting spot is now available for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers.
