Very nice well-kept rest area. Unfortunately, you shouldn't expect ironed asphalt on the Swist route, but you will be rewarded by the landscape...

It looks like you won't want to travel along the Swist River for the next few months: major construction!

They didn't have the cake at Kottenforst station – it was packed 🙁 And unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as delicious as the one at the little cake shop in Schlangenbad – I guess I'm spoiled now 🤷
