Elz Pedestrian Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Here a steel bridge leads over the Elz, from which you have a great view of the enchanted river with its densely covered bank. Definitely worth a quick stop here and enjoy the sight.

Nice corner, a nice spot as part of a bike tour or starting point for a hike, simply rural, quiet, peaceful... and easy to reach with public transport connections, bus line from Emmendingen to Freiamt. If you stay overnight in the Elztal, you have to pay a tourist tax of 1.90 per person, but you have a Konuscard... and therefore a regional card at your disposal, which means free travel on public transport and trains, and reduced admission in many places, such as the Black Forest Zoo. s.

Zum Gscheid Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

In the restaurant "Zum Gscheid" you get the best Baden cuisine. The inn is quaint and small, and when the weather is good the beer garden is particularly nice. Be sure to try the Brägeli and Bibiliskäs! More information at schwarzwald-tourismus.info/gastronomie/gasthaus-gscheid-824efb6ad2.
