    Hiking

    The two lakes, Poppelsee and Kaltenbachsee, are rafting lakes from bygone times. They were created by the Enz Valley rafters around 1750 and, at that time, played an important role due to their large water volumes.

    The dammed lakes were once used to transport logs tied together into rafts down into the valley and further along the Enz, Neckar, and Rhine rivers to a destination in the Netherlands. Today, the two rafting lakes are a truly idyllic setting and a worthwhile destination for hikers. Narrow paths lead around each lake.

    Hiking

    Wonderful path along the Kaltenbach, beautifully narrow and rustic, on gentle forest floor, with occasional access to the stream.

    Hiking

    Really nice here! Large parts of a really beautiful trail in a narrow, romantic valley. Very well signposted and partly maintained through free cutting.
