I would say it's not worth an explicit trip - but still nice to look at. There is a bike path on both sides of the valley

Very well-developed and newly asphalted cycle path, mostly off the L-road and with hardly any steep climbs

When it's cold: black ice. For the journey from Ettlingen, it's better to go via Pfaffenrot to Schielberg than via Marxzell.

Newly paved cycle path from Busenbach to Bad Herrenalb. It's going really well.

When riding downhill, you'll be warned several times about dangerous sections with a gradient of 15%. However, since the route is very well maintained and has impeccable asphalt, nothing can really happen if your bike's brakes are in good condition.

Great views of the Murg Valley and the Rhine plain. The panoramic view is even better if you climb the tower. The road leading up has been patched several times and is quite steep, so be careful on the descent.
