Well, I wouldn't call it a beach. But it's definitely a place where you can swim. Warning: the bike path is on a blind curve here!

A small café with a wide selection of homemade tarts and cakes (classic cakes like Black Forest gateau, but also berry/fruit cakes, some made with spelt dough). There are plenty of outdoor seating options, either on the terrace or the lawn.

Above Raumünzach, the Murg Valley Cycle Path leads between beautiful rocks, which give this section of the route a special charm.

A great alternative to the Murg Valley Cycle Path. The few meters of elevation gain are worth it. You'll be rewarded with shade and a magnificent view.

Worth seeing. Always worth a bike ride.

The surface is impeccable on the Tonbach side – which unfortunately ends abruptly at the Überzwerchberg Hut. From there, the path to Zwickgabel leads over gravel: medium-coarse and somewhat loose. With a little caution, it's the ideal playground for a gravel bike; however, you should think twice about it with a road bike. The gravel section from Zwickgabel is definitely more recommendable uphill than downhill. After the hard work, you'll be rewarded with the descent to Tonbach on a perfect surface. You shouldn't just blast down the narrow, somewhat confusing forest road without guardrails – but 50+ km/h is perfectly acceptable as long as no one is coming the other way.
