The Frauenwissteg was rebuilt in 2025 and is a popular crossing over the Murg River. It connects hiking and cycling trails and offers a safe and comfortable crossing. A special feature: Under the bridge is a specially installed birdhouse for the dipper.

Beautifully located barbecue area right on the Murg, children can play in the shallow water quite safely. There is usually wood for fires.
