ノルドラッハ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Since the devastating hurricane Lothar in 1999, the memorial path has been rebuilt several times. At the beginning, you had to climb over fallen trees, but over the years the entire path has been laid out on wooden planks. This has many advantages but also disadvantages. Especially in winter when ice and snow make the wooden planks slippery. The steps are dangerous. This is why the Lothar path with the woodpecker path and parts of the panorama path are officially closed in winter when there is ice and snow. You then walk at your own risk.

Gengenbach is a former free imperial city in the Kinzig valley. Historical buildings, fountains, towers and gates, narrow, romantic alleys and the wonderful market square invite visitors. The origins of the city go back to Roman times. The monastery was founded around 725, and the city was founded from there in 1230. Even then, the city was planned in its current appearance, with walls, towers and gates. In 1360, Gengenbach was elevated to the status of an imperial city and was therefore subject only to the emperor.

The towers and gates invite you into the historic old town from afar and narrow alleys lead you into picturesque nooks and crannies. The "stone knight" on the market square fountain welcomes us upright. It testifies to the pride and self-confidence of the former Free Imperial City, as does the imposing 200-year-old town hall, which is transformed into the world's largest Advent calendar house in winter and, with its countless romantic half-timbered buildings, dominates the cityscape. 

Wooden planks quite slippery in places due to fog/rain. But the complex was just great and free.

A beautifully designed facility made up of footbridges, bridges and other terrain, which is located on the Black Forest plateau between Kniebis and Ruhestein, which was devastated by the hurricane. In the meantime, nature has taken on the greening. A thicket of shrubs and small trees, the violet flower clusters of the red foxglove and artistic tree torsos prevent a view into the distance. Beautiful to look at and impressive.

It is still a worthwhile path, even if the effects of Hurricane Lothar are no longer visible, as a new young forest has long since developed. Less recommended in winter, as the wooden path can become quite slippery in ice and snow. Unfortunately, the viewing platform is currently (May 2022) closed.

Great tour with varied sections. In addition to the wooden footbridges between the forest and heath, the view is of course a highlight. In the small cottage at the start of the jetty there is a screen with visitor information and a map. In front of the cottage there are also some benches and tables.

In wintry conditions - like at present (Feb 2022) - caution is advised. The wooden planks can become very slippery.
