Highlight • River

Here at the unique weir there is a rest area with tables and benches. There is also a snack bar about 100 meters away.
You can also simply swim in the river here.

Schwarzatal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The road has a very good surface and is not heavily used. Besides, nature is beautiful. You always drive along the river. In summer the trees provide shade and it is not so hot.
