View of the Nahe River from the direction of the bridge houses (landmark of KH). There are now restaurants and cafes on the bridge again, inviting visitors to linger and enjoy themselves (as of January 26th).

There are a few unsafe spots on the descent to Rockenhausen (the road is often contaminated with damaged surfaces). Therefore, do not let the bike roll uncontrollably.

If you drive past, it's your own fault and you're missing out! A wonderful selection of food and drinks awaits you in a beautiful garden. You'll meet cyclists and hikers and quickly strike up a conversation. A totally relaxed atmosphere.
