Currently, there is a good inflow into the Neue See. The inflow can be well observed from the circular hiking trail.

Even a giant sequoia starts small. It looks beautiful and has many, many years ahead of it.

Bridge overlooking the Gäubahn, the line from Stuttgart via Singen (Hohentwiel) to the Swiss border. Occasionally, a few trains still pass here.
