Tips from the Community
This is a wonderful section for cycling. The narrow road is rather little used and "meanders" through the typically rolling Dinkelberg landscape with a small-scale mosaic of fields, meadows, and small woods. At the top, you can decide whether to go downhill via Kürnberg to Schopfheim or a little further uphill towards Raitbach or Gersbach - everything is recommendable.

The little road is indeed worth it and is usually not very busy. Not only is the view from Günnenbach out onto the Rhine beautiful, but a visit to the mountain lake located along the route is also highly recommended.

The nature reserve, covering a total of 12 hectares, was designated in 1997 and aims to protect in particular the western estuary of the Wehra river, which is 26 km long, and the reed and shallow water zones of the Rhine. A successful nature conservation project.

Magnificent view of the Rhine. The tower is free. The steps are pleasantly wide—shouldn't be a problem even if you're afraid of heights 😉
