Fantastic view of the fishing hut on the Black Lake - this view is the reason why I have been spending at least a week a year here for almost 20 years.

After almost four years of construction, it has been possible to cross the Rhin again since 2020 thanks to the new, visually striking Molchow Bridge. The old bridge was closed at the end of 2016 because it was no longer safe for traffic. After long discussions about the design - a wooden variant was favored locally - the decision was made in favor of the steel girder bridge. The costs amounted to 2.5 million euros.
