Footbridge over the Murg

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge makes it easy to cross the Murg River. On hot days, the path under the bridge is also a popular option.
Don't forget your towel.

Very nicely designed goat right in front of the pastures.
It reminds of the attitude and tradition of goats here in the Murgtal, as I read that others also associate …

View of the Murg Valley from Draberg Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Small refuge with a campfire site.
Great view over the Rhine plain, if the weather permits.
