Covered wooden bridge over the Enz, which opens up a beautiful view of the rushing water. There are small rapids here, as well as a small waterfall in the immediate vicinity.

Absolute premium viewpoint over the timber-framed village of Reichental and the Murgtal valley, as well as Baden's local mountains. Especially worthwhile at sunset. However, it is also quite crowded because you can drive directly to it and park. In winter, when the snow tourists are out, there can sometimes be scuffles for the last parking space lol. In summer, there is a motorcycle meet here daily from noon until late at night. Many behave correctly - also towards cyclists - and because I am there very often, you already know one or two people you can have a nice chat with. Unfortunately, some testosterone-driven clowns with prepubescent cerebral cortex completely overdo it and accelerate full throttle again or even do wheelies to impress each other. Similar game with those who rent a sports car over the weekend and want to test the acceleration from 100 to 200 here again, without ever having completed a sporty/race-oriented driving safety training, but at best have "practiced" on Need for Speed on the PlayStation with a controller. This is not only incredibly unpleasant, but also extremely dangerous. Coming from the Enztal, when turning left into the parking lot, it is better to make sure 5 times that no one is coming. I never stay here long because of the sometimes aggressive atmosphere, even though a lounger would invite you to linger.

The new house was a so-called „Vaudeville Theater“. Vaudeville has its origins in Parisian fairground theater and is often associated with music and dance. In 1872, the private theater came into the possession of the state of Württemberg. When Peter Liebig from Mainz was called to Wildbad in 1872 as theater director, the theater experienced a great upswing. In 1888, the theater was given a new name: „Königliches Kur-Theater“. In 1897/98, it was rebuilt as part of the redesign of the spa facilities. On 10.07.2014, 150 years after the building was established, regular operations at the Königliches Kurtheater were resumed with a concert performance of Rossini's „Il viaggio a Reims“!

Between Wildbad and Calmbach, you can only choose between the plague and cholera. Anyone who wants to avoid the busy traffic on Neue Wildbader Straße and doesn't fancy the completely destroyed Alte Calmbacher Straße (Enz Valley Cycle Path) will at least find a shady, car-free alternative here in exchange for additional elevation gain. Coming from Calmbach, the climb is approximately 4-6%. The surface is surprisingly good in the middle section, but at the ends, there's a rubble track typical of Wildbad, which is in no way inferior to the Alte Calmbacher Straße (Enz Valley Cycle Path). The surface near Calmbach is really bad, and the section near Wildbad (Brunnensteige) is also quite steep. This makes the downhill quite challenging, and you'll get quite a bit of a shake-up before you're spat out on the other side of the Meistern Tunnel.
