Unfortunately, also popular with motorcyclists, the road through the beautiful Lierbach valley, past the student rock (stopover highly recommended, only a few meters away from the road you get a unique view) of All Saints with its waterfalls and the monastery ruins. The ruins of the monastery can also be seen from the street. If you drive uphill, you can take a breather without stopping at All Saints' Day, during which you can let the bike roll for a moment before going uphill again.

yes, the waterfalls are on the route or the entrance to the way there. The falls are a fair walk from the road though. For a RR tour therefore rather not recommended.

The Ruhestein is a striking pass between the Archertal and Murgtal, directly on the Black Forest High Road (B500).
