ガゲナウの峠・トップ5

The elevation information has since disappeared from the sign. At 933 meters, it is the highest Black Forest pass north of the Murg River. The Murg side is significantly steeper and has a higher elevation gain than the Enz side. Coming from Reichental, the climb is also nicknamed the "Kaltenbronner Wand," reflecting its challenging nature.

Great drive with sensational views of the Rhine plain all the way to the Vosges.

From Reichental, the Schwarmis is a real challenge

Opening hours currently only on weekends or, if the weather is nice, also on weekdays from 10am-6pm

New surface - making it one of the best descents in the whole area. The sharp curves are challenging, but a lot of fun and the gradient ensures a good speed. However, in the evenings and on weekends and public holidays there are many motorized racers on the road who endanger others and themselves with their high spirits - unfortunately a widespread problem here. I would therefore recommend the morning hours - preferably on weekdays. Uphill, this is THE climb to Kaltenbronn that you can torture yourself on

Good place to take a break or escape a sudden storm.

Good place to take shelter when it rains or just to take a break.

Unfortunately, the entire area is cordoned off, so there is no possibility to take a break on the seating.
