It is totally quiet here and if you ignore the noise level from the busy B49 you can really relax.

Three ponds mostly in the forest 🌳 with lots of tables and benches. It's always a good idea to take a break here. The ponds are easily accessible from Hungen, Langsdorf and Villingen via paved paths.
