A piece of bike path along the Pfinz. Unfortunately, there are only a few such beautiful stretches of trail along the Pfinz.

The Pfinz is a good 60 km long right and eastern tributary of the Rhine, which rises on the northern edge of the Black Forest, flows through the southern Kraichgau, enters the Upper Rhine Plain near Karlsruhe-Grötzingen and, partially split into several arms, through the north-west of the district of Karlsruhe flows to the Rhine.

"Alte B36" with a view of a wetland / nature reserve. In spring, the fruit trees on the road are particularly beautiful.

Be careful, agricultural vehicles also drive here from time to time! But still: almost car-free through nature - there should be more racing bike routes like this.

The wooden bridge over the upper end of the Ungeheuerklamm connects the forest paths on the left and the right on the gorge. Explanatory signs about flora and fauna and the fairly manageable route make for a nice circular route that is often used by families. Be careful, not all paths are suitable for prams, it's better to pack a carrying aid if you want to walk the narrower paths.
