슈트라우벤하르트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 협곡

The recommendation is for the idyllic, tranquil landscape. The route itself, however, is a flop for me: The paved section is pretty dilapidated, and the gravel section is more reminiscent of a pebble beach on Lake Constance than Strade Bianche. You keep slipping on the loose, rough surface, and I was glad when I finally completed this section. I certainly wouldn't go downhill here. So you have to weigh up whether you're willing to put up with that.

A very pleasant incline and slight decline, which seems to roll along by itself. Thanks to the good surface, you can also let it run without compromise. The beginning and end are briefly a bit steeper at around 6-8%, while the large middle section flattens out to 2%. The uphill (towards Dobel) is very relaxed. However, all the empty spaces along the road exude a very morbid feeling, while the lack of traffic reinforces the loneliness. I wonder what life is like for the remaining residents here? I sometimes get a chill here.

Unfortunately, in dry weather, the gravel in the middle section is quite loose, lacking a binding agent. If that doesn't scare you, you'll find a beautiful side valley of the Murg with plenty of shady trees here—I really appreciate that, especially on hot summer days!

Little motorized traffic and so much fun!

Path with obstacles and moss, in places with mud.

The entire Holzbachtal is an idyll! Between the L565 and the junction towards Neusatz, you think you've zapped 50-60 years into the past. One or the other little house along the way or one or the other business from that time has survived, sometimes a bit scruffy. But with charm. Very romantic in terms of landscape. It's really worth not rushing through so quickly, whether coming from above or below. Look a little more to the right and left and perceive details. Strange how some areas in the Black Forest are so deserted! The Holzbachtal is not quite there yet, but there are also some properties for rent here!

Even in a summer as dry as this year, the waterfall had not dried up.

Nice little trail along the Laufbach to the small waterfalls
