View into the Fils Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice viewpoint above the course of the Fils, as long as you don't want to take the busy path directly along the stream but instead take the route along the top.

Filstal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

You will soon be able to drive through it again directly on the bike path underneath. Already impressive with the narrow supports at a height of almost 100m.

When the old and new climbs come together, the view over the Alb plateau is fantastic.
