Monbachtal

beautiful popular recreational area, very populated towards the road. It is quieter in the upper part of the valley.

Perfect for hiking with children. No boring walk but not too demanding. There is a lot to climb for the children without danger of falling. Towels are not wrong.

The valley is awesome, beautiful and long, but you should really wear good shoes, because you have to cross the creek often in unsecured places, especially in damp weather, the stones in the stream are slippery!

The Monbach is on the main strand 9 km long stream on the eastern edge of the northern Black Forest, which flows between Bad Liebenzell and Unterreichenbach from the right into the middle Nagold. From the confluence of its source streams the Monbach flows through the nature reserve Monbach, Maisgraben and St. Leonhardquelle and the nature reserve of the same name. The protected areas essentially comprise the wildly romantic forest gorge, which the Monbach has been digging into the sandstone benches for around 350,000 years, and where it forms numerous small crashes. Purpose of protection is the preservation and protection of a unique geological source formation in Muschelkalk (St. Leonhardquelle) with their typical and species-rich animal and plant communities and the preservation and protection of the steep, rock-covered "Felsenmeer" slopes of the valley bottom and the water cascades of Buntsandsteinschlucht of Monbach their species-rich, the ravine and Hochstaudenwald überleitenden fern fir beech forest.

For children it is great to play on the water 👍🏻

Through the ravine, which in some places remains natural, leads a path that gives children the feeling of adventure and thus makes the hike much more interesting. Sturdy shoes are required!

On hot days a welcome cooling off

Who on a hot summer Sunday cooling, peace and seclusion is looking for, better a swimming pool visit ;-)
Here it bothers already at some brook transitions.

Non-slip footwear is helpful when crossing the unpaved monbachs multiple times

Very beautiful winding paths

You must have seen that.

You have peace and a lot of fresh air. Fixed hiking boots, best to the ankle you have a better stop. Hiking poles are recommended. And enjoy climbing and let the kids play.
