A lovely little and varied route, ideal for children. There are lots of learning, discovery and play stations for them (called the Little Robber Hotzenplotz Trail or "The Little Robber Trail", starting from the old Strohbach quarry; parking spaces on the street; as it is a circular route, it is also possible to start from Ziegelwaldsee).

Nice round with small children, mine were 5 and 7 and love robbers Hotzenplotz. There are stations for guessing and by the way you learn something about flora and fauna.

A particularly beautifully designed trail with numerous information panels for children and adults. Fantastic panoramas of the surrounding area, and most of the trail is sunny, which is pleasant.
