July 21, 2026, Granite Crevices and Waterfall in Naturpark Südschwarzwald

Impressive granite fissures and a small waterfall make this place a real natural highlight. The short stop is worthwhile – the combination of rock, water, and forest creates a special atmosphere on the MTB tour.

The Albbrücke impressively spans the river and offers beautiful views of the Alb and the surrounding nature. A striking point along the route, well-suited for a short stop and a photo.

From here, a beautiful view opens up into the Albtal with its wooded slopes, meadows, and the natural course of the Alb river. A worthwhile viewpoint to stop for a moment and enjoy the vastness of the Black Forest landscape.

From here, a beautiful view opens up over Birdorf and the surrounding landscape. I like to stop here for a moment, look over the rooftops, fields, and gentle hills, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere away from the larger towns. An unspectacular, but very pleasant viewpoint for a short breather on the tour.

We crossed the Alb on the hike from Göhrwil to Waldshut, a beautiful, quiet place

A beautiful old stone bridge in a peaceful natural setting – perfect for a short break. The stream and surrounding area are especially idyllic after rain. The path there is sometimes narrow and damp – sturdy shoes are recommended. 🌿

Wildly foaming and several meters wide, the Höllbach flows into the Alb, which here flows calmly, after almost 9 km from its source near Engelschwand. A wonderful spot with a bench and bridge to enjoy this natural spectacle.
