Wonderful path directly on the Schluchsee with constantly great views of the water. Pleasant to ride with an MTB and a real highlight in terms of landscape – however, during busy times, you should be considerate of hikers.

The imposing dam on the Schluchsee is a real highlight on the MTB tour. From here, you can enjoy great views over the lake and the surrounding Black Forest heights – a perfect spot for a short stop and a few photos.

At this point, the Schluchsee is not overcrowded, but there is a good kiosk with seating and boat rental.

Always a very impressive view of the dam. I recommend not only walking or driving across the top, but also going down; it's special to be able to stand under such a dam.

A quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot along the Schluchsee shore. Worth seeking out for a peaceful moment away from the busier lakefront areas.
