Murgtalpfad Rock Tunnels and Waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The entire section is only downhill. Braked around the bends and through the tunnels, this trail is well visited by hikers, horses and other cyclists. Otherwise an absolute fun and a beautiful "gorgeous" descent.

June 29, 2025: I hiked up the Murg Valley Trail. It's completely passable again. It's actually in the shade—very pleasant in the 30+°C.

I drove up and down the Murg Valley. It was pleasantly cool in the summer.

A beautiful reservoir is nestled in a valley. You can ride a bike out the back and continue riding, even if there is a dead end sign at the entrance. This only applies to cars. It is most beautiful in summer as it is usually cool and shady there.

⚠️ Please note ⚠️ You must not believe the hiking signs. If you follow the hiking signs you ONLY get to the viewing platform "Teufelskueche" and it is above the "Teufelskuechen- Badestelle". You can NOT get to the water from the platform, only from the street side (L154). There is also a small parking area for about 3 cars.

This picture from the upper end of the lake gives a good indication of the many great views and panoramic views of this circular hike. The sections from Berau to Allmut and the ascent from the Schwarzatal to Berau were good, sometimes challenging hiking trails (when going up or down, absolute surefootedness and really sturdy hiking shoes are required; hiking poles are helpful). In between, the path was concreted or asphalted. Unfortunately, there was not a single bench or picnic area in the entire Schwarzatal section and the ascent to the Fischbrünnleweg; there is still potential for optimization. Fortunately, the small wooden bridge was in good condition and could be used as a rest area.
