On one side runs the road where (on weekends) the motorbikes roar loudly. On the other hand, the hillside forest belongs to the core zone of the biosphere area, is no longer cultivated and slowly develops into a primeval forest. In between, the trail leads to the Fischbach. The name Fischburgtal is only understood when you know that until the 19th century there was a natural lake of about 1 km - the so-called "bottomless lake".

About 10,000 years ago, where today Seeburg is located, a limestone rock began to grow, a so-called "barre", formed from Kalkausfällungen the water of the streams that flowed together here. In about 4-5000 years, the barre grew to about 35 m height and jammed a lake of about 1 km in length - at the rectory in Seeburg you can see the limestone wall. Around 1620 dug by the ducal-Württemberg court master Heinrich Schickhardt a nearly 500 m long tunnel through the bar to allow a management of the lake and its discharge for fishing and rafting - the tunnel still exists and can be visited on special occasions , It was not until the 19th century that the lake was completely drained and the "bottomless lake" became the "Seewiesen".

In the side valley of the Fischbach, which leads up to Wittlingen, one can understand the geological process, where the stream currently forms small tufa terraces.

Great path through the forest along a very clear stream on one side and scenic rock wall on the other
