View of the Schwarzenbach Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schwarzenbach Dam is the most important structure of the Rudolf Fettweis Pumped Storage Power Plant. Completed in 1926, the dam collects water on the eastern slope of the rain-rich main ridge of the northern Black Forest. Water from the Murg River is also pumped into the reservoir, as the facility serves to balance the energy supply. The gravity dam is 400 meters long and 65 meters high. The lake is over two kilometers long.

Schwarzenbach Dam

Highlight • Lake

The largest dam in the northern Black Forest. It's a wonderful place to walk around on hiking trails. The Westweg trail also runs alongside the dam.

Friedrich Tower at Badener Höhe

The Friedrichsturm stands on the Badener Höhe. The tower with 168 steps offers an excellent view of the Rhine plain. There are a few places to sit and a shelter right next to the Friedrichsturm.

Bermersbach Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Immediately after the end of the Glücksweg, just continue straight ahead and you will come to the small waterfalls of Bermersbach. Here the Sersbach flows down into the valley over a few smaller steps.

February 22, 2025,Badener Höhe x Forbach

With today's mild temperatures, the hiking feeling is completely different to that of the last few weeks. Finally, no more cold hands. Even the thermos flask stayed at home. Instead, a brisk, demanding hike with EKS in the Nature Friends House.
