    Beautifully situated on the cycle path to the right of the Fehla. You can also come from the left bike path over a meadow and a footbridge to the barbecue area. Very busy in summer.

    While the Grillplatz an der Fehla is a designated public barbecue area, it's always advisable to check local regulations regarding open fires, especially during dry seasons.

    How accessible is the Grillplatz an der Fehla for visitors with mobility challenges or strollers?

    The Grillplatz an der Fehla offers direct parking, making it relatively easy to access. It's situated along well-maintained paths, including cycle paths, which generally suggests a flatter, more accessible terrain immediately around the barbecue area. However, the surrounding Glastal features natural trails with varying terrain, so accessibility for longer hikes might be limited for wheelchairs or strollers beyond the immediate vicinity.
