Cycling

Anyone who chooses the ascent to the Hürtgenwald in the direction of "Kleinhau" from the rurstaubecken Obermaubach can observe untouched nature to the right and left of the path.

Hiking

Many hikers will be able to relate to the thoughts of Georg Fahrbach (who was active on the board of the Schwäbischer Albverein for a long time), which he describes as follows: “Whoever wanders out into field and forest will soon realize how infinitely much nature gives him in terms of nerve strength and spiritual values, and what it can mean to a person in times of physical or mental distress; he also knows that a person connected to nature can never be completely unhappy.”
