Lovely bench to take a break. And just stare into space for a while

The bridge has now been repaired.

A clear view over forests and hills – one of those moments where you simply stop and take a deep breath. 🌬️ Quiet, clear, expansive – it's worth pausing here for a moment. 📸 Also ideal for a photo or a brief moment of reflection.

A lovely place to rest, especially if you're traveling with children. Right next to the bench is a small playground – ideal for an active break. 🌤️ For us, it was a pleasant place to sit while the little ones let off steam.

At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut into the slope covered with beech trees at a considerable height. Here the rock of the middle Bunter sandstone from the Triassic period stands in bright orange-red colors. These deposits in river and delta areas are around 220 million years old.

Update August 11, 2024: The foundations of the new bridge are already in place. Cyclists and pedestrians can use the temporary wooden bridge until the new bridge is completed.

At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut the beech slope at a stately height. Here, in bright orange-red colors, the middle red sandstone rock of the Triassic geologic age can be seen. These deposits in river and delta areas are about 220 million years old. The oblique stratification of the sandstone visible in the bedrock in alternating layers with horizontal strata and gravel bands testifies to the different flow conditions of the primordial waters. The arch's shape is the result of thousands of years of exposure to water from the meandering Enz River. The surface of the rock face is still subject to constant weathering, in places the rock is slightly more porous. An interesting insight into the floor structure can be obtained in the upper part. The overlying Earths here only reach a thickness of less than a meter. Natural crevices provide nesting and breeding grounds for the kingfisher, which is native to the area.
