Rock Archway Entrance to Lautertal

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tunnel carved into the rock is, so to speak, the inlet from the south into the Lautertal. Drive through and enjoy and marvel at the really beautiful valley.

The weather was also fine, just a few drops after the lunch break. If you like a lot of nature, this tour is the right one …

That was another nice tour today - and that with wonderful weather!

Go for a spin after your vacation. In the Lautertal the cycle path is a construction site. So onto the street. Then I was invited for coffee. So a nice day. 👌
