Anyone who has ever taken the Höllentalbahn from Freiburg to Neustadt in the Black Forest will know the magnificent view of the gorge and the river that you have when you travel over the Ravenna Bridge. The 36-meter-high and 224-meter-long viaduct is the successor to the bridge built in 1887, which was blown up in the Second World War. In the run-up to Christmas, a Christmas market below the bridge invites you to enjoy mulled wine in the Black Forest setting. The best way to discover the Ravenna Viaduct is on a hike - for example, coming from Hinterzarten through the Löffeltal and back through the gorge.

According to the signs, the bridge withstood the shelling in World War II, but was then blown up in the middle by German soldiers. The central pillars were rebuilt after the war.

The 36 m high stone arch building from 1926 replaced the steel construction from 1885. The two abutments can still be seen

"...The source area of the Stübenbach is on the 1,386 meter high Stübenwasen. From there it meanders through the high valley of Todtnauberg, where other clear mountain streams join it. These then plunge together with a loud roar in two stages over a huge granite massif into the valley. The completely natural waterfall has been a listed monument since June 1987 and is one of the ten most beautiful natural monuments in Germany. ..." https://www.feldbergbahn.de/Attraktionen/Todtnauer-Wasserfall

A beautiful place also nicely prepared with the climbs to the left and right of the waterfall. I also think the loungers below the waterfall are very well made.

The Ravennaschlucht is a MUST! Nice shady path. Almost every meter offers a new photo motif I recommend Hinterzarten as a start and finish: From here along the Rotbach to Zum Sternen. There entry into the Ravennaschlucht. Ascent to Birklehof and finally Hinterzarten.
