Idyllic river landscape in the Murnthal

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Schwarzach may largely follow their natural course. A particularly beautiful example of this is the primeval Murnthal - steep granite walls, alder and willow lined banks and polished granite blocks conjure up a wild and romantic atmosphere.

September 4, 2023,Rötz - Neunburg v.W.
From Rötz on the cycle path along the Schwarzach to the Eixendorfer Stause. At the Upper Palatinate Crafts Museum and Salzfriedl we go to the first dam. Here you can see the almost empty reservoir. The cause is the construction work on the lowest dam. Continue via Gutenland Camping to the largest state road bridge in Bavaria. From now on …

From Rötz along the Schwarzach to the Eixendorf reservoir. Slightly reduced water level due to work on the dam. Through the Murnthal to Neunburg v.W. with a stop in the beer garden at the Sporrer. Via Diendorf back to the reservoir and back. It's always fun.

The tour started in Neunburg vorm Wald. Unfortunately I had problems with the recording with Komoot and had to switch to the Bosch Flowapp in Gütenland. Komoot always reports bad GPS. Maybe someone can help me. Regards Reinhard
