Holzbachtal

Highlight • Gorge

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!

Schwanner Watchtower

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the first stage of the Westweg, the Schwanner Warte on the northern edge of the Black Forest, after the Neuenburger Castle, with its panoramic view is one of the few highlights before Dobel. Taking a break is therefore a must. From here you have a beautiful view over the hilly landscape with meadows and fields north of the Black Forest.
