A beautiful trail through early spring forest. Very quiet on a mostly wide path.

Forest hike from our small campsite at the canoe club - up a short but steep climb to Tillyschanze (tower with 130 steps up AND down) - fantastic views. Further through some nature reserves and very beautiful forest - back to the campsite.

Wide gravel/forest roads, forest paths (incl. a section where not many people had been through recently).
