Enjoying the (flat) neighborhood. Along the water where you can also get into the water at cozy spots (to cool off)

Since I live here, I never get tired of the view. Simply beautiful.

No trail, because mostly narrower than two meters: In 1995, Baden-Württemberg tightened the Federal Forest Act §14, which generally permits cycling on paths, with the two-meter rule in §37.3 of the State Forest Act BW. This prohibits cycling in the forest on paths less than two meters wide.

In reality, there are roots everywhere, but it's still rideable 😁

Good view here too, into the next valley. The guesthouse is closed for holidays until March 1st, 2026.

A bench at a crossroads, a hidden forest hut nearby, and only in one place, through the branches of the trees, do you have a view of the Belchen.
