Schwarzenbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

In the valley of the Murg, the dam is one of the oldest in the country. At an altitude of about 700m, you can go for a walk directly on the bank.

The dam is located at a height of 668.5 meters between the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse and the Murgtal on the L 83 about 10 km from Forbach.

The Schwarzenbach dam measures approx. 2.5 km in length. The imposing dam is one of the pioneering works of the 1920s in dam construction. The water is conducted in underground and above-ground pressure tunnels and pipes for electricity generation to the Rudolf Fettweis plant (EnBW) in Forbach.

Due to its idyllic location, framed by Black Forest mountains, the lake is a popular destination in summer and in winter for boating, hiking, cycling and swimming.
There is a hotel with a restaurant right on the lake shore.

Murgtal Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

You will pass right here on one of the most beautiful cycle paths in the northern Black Forest, the Murgtal cycle path. Especially in summer it is worth taking a break at one of the many bathing spots. At the exit of Forbach there is a bakery on the left in the Netto, if you want to sweeten your break with a piece of cake.

April 17, 2022,Schwarzenbachtalsperre und die "Tour de Murg" zurück

There was no lack of altitude today and since our tour planner entered mountain bikes, the paths were not always quite suitable for trailers 🙈😂
The most exciting part was the piece over the narrow bridge and the subsequent steep, narrow ascent with a final short, winding staircase.
@Adrian I'm always up for such adventures🤩
The rest of the trip …
