Hiking

The hike along the Ulmbach is my personal highlight. The Ulmbach carries hundreds of stones and is framed by beeches that lean towards the river. The paved part of the ford is particularly beautiful.

Definitely worth a detour! A totally beautiful path along the Ulmbach with many resting places and access to the water.

A wonderful path along a "wild" stream. Here, nature is still at its best.
