Very suitable for families with small children or also for inline skaters as it is completely flat and asphalted.

A beautiful, quiet riverside cycle path through the Schwarzbach Valley. A few charming villages and a few places to stop for refreshments.

The cycle path runs along the Schwarzbach for long stretches, is perfectly developed, cool, partially shady, and offers a constant view of the water.
