On the edge of the Rohrach valley, it is quite quiet thanks to the closure of the B10. The cycle and hiking path between Ziegelhütte and Straub-Mühle is also temporarily closed. A detour via Wittinger Fels is signposted.

A section that I have always wanted to see is the Rohrachtal, through which I had already planned a bike tour.
