    A real gem for the pleasure driver. Fully suitable for racing bikes, albeit a bit bumpy (status: 05/2023), you don't even hear motorized vehicles in the distance in this valley.

    In my opinion, especially with a comfortable 2-5% uphill, since there is no high-speed route downhill and:

    Paying more attention is required going downhill, as there are sometimes quite deep (5 cm) grooves that run in the direction of travel and pose a certain risk of falling.

      This road leads through the core zone of the NSG Schwarzatal - it is completely car-free, great to drive and has lots of nice corners to rest and linger

        Wonderful route. It's best taken uphill along the river.
        NOTE: The route is unfortunately completely closed to ALL (including hikers and cyclists) from August 18 to October 31, 2025, due to rockslides, construction, and slope stabilization work!
