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.

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.
