Murg valley holiday apartment during the summer holidays
The Schwarzenbach dam was completed in 1926 and still feeds a pumped-storage plant — the circuit around it is one of the shadiest summer walks in the region.
What is different at this time of year
Summer stays are longer as a rule, and because each German state breaks up at a different time the demand spreads across several weeks.
When people usually book
The summer holidays are often booked as early as the preceding winter.
