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.

On the Sommerberg, the northern Black Forest is revealed from a reverse perspective along a 1.2 km stretch. The tour culminates at the observation tower, 40 meters high, offering a spectacular 360-degree view over the endless forests and impressive valleys of the Black Forest. Those who wish can slide down the tower for €2.

As a long-time salmon angler, I not only enjoyed the stretch through the forest, but also the Enz itself. Often forced by humans, many sections of it are one of the most beautiful waters I know.

A very beautiful and cool path along the Enz River. Especially pleasant to ride in midsummer.
