After a strenuous climb, a rewarding view of the Rhine valley and Switzerland on one side, and of Schwarzbachtal and the Black Forest on the other side. You can't help but stop! Fantastic 😍!!!

Visiting the tower costs 1 Fr. For this, you get not only a great view but also an exhibition on the history of the small town.

A short stop is always worthwhile here with a mountain bike: The fish ladder with the small water cascade is a beautiful sight every time. I found it particularly pleasant to get off briefly, watch the water, and soak in the calm atmosphere – a little highlight by the wayside.
