Highlight • Natural Monument

Originally, the Arminius Spring was enclosed to refresh hikers and served as a natural drinking source. Today, it still invites visitors to take a break and enjoy the fresh spring water.

Admittedly, you also need "mud-proof" shoes here because the path is very muddy at times
But there are also sections that are easy to walk and not muddy
Some of the clearing areas allow a beautiful view, so that it doesn't look that bad and you can divert your gaze
With THAT weather today, the positive definitely outweighed me

now the first practical test with two grandchildren, B. 7 years ♂, E. 9 years ♀ on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Start at the Bergfrieden hiking car park, a one-way walk of just under a kilometer, slightly uphill.
