It was a nice day with the family. Good parking with a starting point for many nice tours. It is also good to climb in the gorge and there is a lot to discover and a nice picnic spot. I will gladly come again.

The steel heart is the new photo hotspot at Rothsee. The idea, initiator, and donor of the approximately 2.30-meter-high artwork is Birgit Bast. The steel heart at Kleiner Rothsee invites visitors to take photos and capture special moments. It was officially inaugurated on December 11, 2025.

A lovely spot to linger. The bench at Wernloch is unfortunately no longer there. What a pity 🙁
