"Bike path" is a bit of a euphemism. Wide tires and suspension are definitely an advantage here. The path is really rough in places. Downhill, towards Calmbach, it's smooth, but you get quite jolted in places. Uphill, towards Aichhalden, on the other hand, it's strenuous due to the surface. I ride here often, but I find the gravel quite annoying. Only the section between Agenbacher Sägemühle and the campsite (Hofstett intersection) has nice, fine gravel and is accordingly enjoyable.

As a long-time salmon angler, I not only enjoyed the stretch through the forest, but also the Enz itself. Often forced by humans, many sections of it are one of the most beautiful waters I know.

A very beautiful and cool path along the Enz River. Especially pleasant to ride in midsummer.

The restaurant is now closed and there are only two vending machines: one with fish, the other with ice cream (€3.70 to €4.50 per 160ml cup). Ordering is done via a large touchscreen. Card payment is possible (Visa, EC, also Apple Pay!). Se future is nau!

Whether the hut is still managed is doubtful due to the way the two vending machines are set up. You can get trout from the "Forellomat" (trout vending machine), but the ice cream vending machine next to it is more interesting for most cyclists. The ice cream is delicious.😋
