The cycle path along the Fils has been closed since June 2024 due to a landslide. Initial reconstruction work has now begun, with the aim of Summer 2025. :-( After a Herculean effort by the construction company, the Filstalradweg along the Fils near Kuchen has been continuously passable again since March 30, 2025.
