Various boards explain how Emil Eichhorn and his family live in the forest. Very informative for young and old.

Small circular route for the family. Then a visit to the Niederfischbach zoo is worthwhile!

There are now some works of art by chainsaw artist Robin Rosenthal to admire along the way. Squirrel bench and owl bench invite you to rest and relax.

A beautifully laid out path with information boards about the life of squirrels, here called Emil Eichhorn. There are also great carvings and chainsaw sculptures to discover. 🐿

The squirrel path is very nice to walk, a lot to see along the river, doable for everyone.
We didn't see the pit that is supposedly there, where the pieces of the wall were supposed to be 🤷‍♀️
Some stations (wooden boards) on the way were about squirrels.
Beautiful rock faces, great nature 😊
The path was a bit muddy, but no problem with sturdy shoes😉

Unfortunately, on holidays there is too much going on, undisturbed hiking is not possible
