    Tips

    The Hochelten barefoot season starts every year at Easter. A two kilometer long hiking trail leads over 12 different surfaces through the Hocheltener Forest, around an orchard meadow and back again. Without shoes you get on your soles and walk alternately over gravel, sand, bark or forest floor. The feet are happy about this sheer pleasure.

    Start and finish is the Sebastian-Kneipp-Platz Hochelten. The Kneipp step and arm pool round off the experience of nature in a meaningful way. The balancing fields and outdoor sports equipment are available to sporty guests. On the dangle benches you can not only relax your legs, but also your soul. Lockers are available to store your shoes (€ 1) and a foot washing facility allows them to be cleaned afterwards. The use of the Hochelten barefoot path including all equipment is completely free of charge. The opening times are from early April to late October, from sunrise to sunset. So out of your shoes and into fun.

      Full cool equipment in a meadow to exercise. Right next to it begins the barefoot path. We will definitely test it.
