The Wildline is a pedestrian suspension bridge in Bad Wildbad in the Northern Black Forest. It crosses the Bärenklinge, a small side valley, from the Sommerberg to the southern end of Bad Wildbad. With a span of 380 meters and a maximum height of 60 meters above the ground, it extends from the north to the south portal. The bridge serves to open up the Sommerberg Bad Wildbad recreational area for tourism, especially the hiking trail network, but is also to be considered an attraction in its own right. The Wildline has a walkway width of 1.20 meters. This path, accessible to pedestrians, consists of a grating construction resting on crossbars, which are in turn attached on both sides to vertical hangers connected directly to the main suspension cables. Handrails and wire mesh grids are mounted on both sides to ensure the safety of visitors. A special feature of the bridge's construction is that it is arched upwards, thus designed contrary to the classic suspension bridge form. The main suspension cables are anchored to two pylons erected at the entrances, each with a height of 23 meters. The maximum gradient to the center of the bridge is ten percent. The total weight of the bridge is 141 tons, of which 43 tons are accounted for by the catwalk alone. The two bridge pylons together weigh 82 tons. The maximum load capacity of the bridge is 600 people, but for comfort reasons, only a maximum of 300 people are allowed on the bridge at the same time. A maximum breaking load of 5,620 kilonewtons is specified per cable. A total of 11,000 meters of welding seams were created during construction. The bridge is built with low-barrier access, so that it can also be crossed by people with walking disabilities using a wheelchair or by people with a stroller. The construction phase of the bridge with an integrated visitor center took only about half a year and began in the winter of 2017/2018. The Wildline was officially opened in July 2018. The construction company was Eberhardt Bewehrungsbau GmbH from Oberschwaben's Hohentengen, which is also the parent company of the current operator, Wildline Bad Wildbad GmbH & Co. KG. The construction company is also an investor in Rottweil and the suspension bridge at Todtnauer Wasserfall. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildline

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

Since 1968, the Paracelsus-Therme has stood on the site of the former "Untere Bad", which changed bathing culture from individual bathing to exercise bathing.

The Fautsburg is a small spur castle that served as a refuge several times. It dates back to the 12th century and originally consisted of a small tower castle on a rock. It is separated from the mountain by a mighty moat, which was hewn out of the rock. The stones obtained during the construction of the moat were used to erect the tower, which is the only building still existing today. The Fautsburg hides today in deep forests and, even as a ruin, does justice to its function as a refuge both in terms of its structure and its atmosphere.
