Tips from the Community
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!

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

The goat sculpture isn't directly at the bathing area, but rather on the Murg Valley Cycle Path. Live goats are often seen grazing here.

The section from Bermersbach to the Rote Lache has been a one-way street since the beginning of May 2025. In other words, the only way up is now prohibited. The downhill section has been narrowed with traffic cones, making any violation pointless and incredibly dangerous. The reason given was a lack of road safety – and oh boy, is the surface bad. The road is riddled with cracks and potholes, but it's sufficient for the climb. The gradient is pleasant, and during my midweek visit, there were only two cars on the road, which I could easily let pass.

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.

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.
