View of the River Murg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Murg is simply beautiful and always worth a motif. Regardless of the weather.

Luisenbrunnen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Those who arrive here from the Murgtal via the narrow, steep path will be very happy about the cooling water of the fountain. The namesake was the grand dukes Friedrich and Luise of Prussia.

Wolf's Gorge Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very interesting hut with shelter and seating set. Is right on the slope towards Murgtal from which a steep path rises. Paths to the Wolfschlucht, Alt Eberstein or Lukashütte go from here.

Fee-Schlapper Hut at Binsenwasen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Interesting construction, the "Fee-Schlapper-Hütte" at Binsenwasen. Nicely located on the pass between Merkur and kleinem Staufenberg and something different than the "usual" mountain huts.

After the last few days of heavy rain, finally getting back on the bike. I set off dry and after 10 minutes I was back in the drizzle that accompanied me the whole way. But what the heck, everyone can ride when the weather is nice and so, despite the bad weather, the tour was a nice break in nature. …

August 27, 2023,Auf der Engels - und Teufelsseit .... zum Merkur ... :-)

Explored a little closer area today to test whether the body can participate ;-)
It started via Weinau and the favorite rock in the direction of Selbach. Down at the turning point, strample through the roundabout and straight back up in the direction of Selbacher Höhen, past the chapel, target path up and Luisenbrunnen/Wolfsschluchthütte. The ruins are unfortunately closed, and …
