A viewpoint near the dam offering a beautiful panorama over Schluchsee marina and towards the village of Blasiwald. One of the most scenic spots on the eastern end of the lake.

A rustic fisherman's hut right on the lakeshore, surrounded by tall trees and boulders. A charming and atmospheric spot to pause by the water.

The Schluchsee is the largest natural lake in the Black Forest. The route passes close to its shores — a serene and scenic spot worth taking in as you ride through.
