The baroque Maria-Hilf Chapel is picturesquely situated between two wooded areas above the Attental residential area (on the watershed between Jöhlingen and Wöschbach). It was built in 1732. Today, the chapel is still a destination for many pilgrims, especially in May and the summer months. The building is flanked by two historical wooden crosses: on the left a cross from 1783 and on the right one from 1857.

Next to the lock, there is a bridge over the canal and a small rest area. Nice place with an open view over the canal. The lock is intended to prevent groundwater from being lowered further - it was already significantly lowered by the construction of the canal.

The Pfinz diversion canal diverts the floodwaters of the Pfinz into the Rhine. It is separated from the Pfinz in Grötzingen and runs northwest to Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, beautiful paths on both sides of the canal, especially in the Hardtwald forest area.

Beautiful baroque pilgrimage chapel, built in 1732 on the watershed between Jöhlingen and Wöschbach. From there you have a magnificent view over Jöhlingen and the Walzbachtal.

Up to the Bürgerpark along the Pfinz diversion canal through the forest. Then to the beer garden, send the kids to the BMX track or to the playgrounds/football pitches. Always a great family outing.

Narrow and amazingly high footbridge over an old Rhine arm. A little test of courage for those with a fear of heights 😉 Passable in May 2026 and not closed.

Large gravel pit lake in the middle of the Rhine floodplains. The name is reminiscent of historical smuggling in the Rhine region. Popular with anglers and paddlers. Many boats on the shore are a picturesque eye-catcher. Definitely worth a detour from the dike path.
