Tips

July 6, 2026

Here is the old Schwarzwasser bridge, which leads over the river Schwarzwasser. The stone bridge offers some sights worth seeing. On one side of the bridge, the water has formed impressive channels and crevices in the sandstone slabs. On the other side, a small island offers a pleasant opportunity to use the river as a bathing spot in the summer. Further ahead, the newer Schwarzwasser bridge can be seen.

Mountain biking

The trip here is called descent and then again steep ascent, but it's worth it.
