Entrance to Schrumpftal

Highlight • Trail

Drive under the railway bridge and you are already in the shrink valley, a side road that leads up to the Maifeld. As the road has an even and moderate incline and is mostly shaded, it lends itself to cycling. There is little traffic, but if a car does come, it gets pretty tight. At the weekend and during the holidays, there are also a few hikers in the Shrinking Valley with its picturesque mills, which you should watch out for.
