Halfway up the Neckar valley, a path leads through the NSG-Schönrain, which lives up to its name. Many benches line the path, and beautiful views of the Neckar valley and the opposite heights open up again and again.

Beautifully situated. On one side, a small footpath runs along the riverbank with frequent access points to the water. On the other side, the Neckar Valley Cycle Path also runs along the riverbank and directly through the restaurant, which offers plenty of seating and an exceptional miniature golf course.
