It's cute when the little ibex jump around in their enclosure. Otherwise, they mostly lie on their rocks and observe.

A large rock bears the inscription "Bismarck Pulpit 1907". A small rock pulpit was built around the rock, which is where the name for this place ultimately derives. Further historical engravings, mostly of a very nationalistic nature, can be found in the rock itself, including some dating from 1887.

In the northern Black Forest, the Bunter sandstone geological formation is by far the most widespread and dominant parent rock for soil formation. The Bunter sandstone layers are in some places several hundred meters thick and were formed approximately 200-230 million years ago.

Historic weir on the Würm river with a fish ladder. A small bridge nearby also offers a lovely view of this idyllic spot.

A natural hiking trail through a beautiful landscape, mostly following the Würm river and offering frequent good views of the water. The only slight drawback is the occasional noise from the nearby road.

The Glasbronnen (fountain) served as a source of water for the Brötzingen suburb (Pforzheim) as early as 1400. Today, depending on rainfall and season, water flows from the stone spring basin into the nearby Würm river, sometimes more, sometimes less.

It is located on the Würmtalweg trail, from where you can then reach the West Portal via the Schönbuchpfad trail and the Dachs Hütte.
