You can relax and let it roll along the wonderful path through the forest near Riegelrunnerhof. It's especially nice in summer when you can ride in the shade of the trees.

At the exit of the Hollerbach valley, the stream is dammed to form a pond. Along it there is a beautiful path through a rocky area. There is also a car park next to the pond.
