On the Othmarsingen - Wildegg route, away from the road, there are some beautiful winding paths, some right by the water (with swimming, barbecues?), partly through wild nature, often with a view of Wildegg Castle.

The old mill with its large water wheel is often overlooked. It's also a beautiful place to stop.
