You walk along the Schwarza exclusively on solid ground, where the river helps cool the air a bit, especially on hot summer days. As you cross bridges and walk through the spa park, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while also doing something good for your health. A special bonus for culture and architecture enthusiasts: the tour takes you past Reichenau Castle and St. Barbara Parish Church.
