The Kreuzweiher is very idyllic in the forest. Next to it is the eponymous restaurant, which also offers a beer garden in summer. The restaurant is interesting for hikers, as well as for the guests of the neighboring campsite.

May 6, 2024,Sklavensee – Kübelsbachschlucht Runde von Kalchreuth

Starting in Kalchreuth, we first went along the cherry blossom path, then past the Sklavensee and through the Kübelsbachschlucht. On the way back to the car, we deviated slightly from the path and stopped at the Gasthaus Reif for a delicious meal.

Sodala etzatla was ma hal amol dahoam on the way in Kalkrevt according to the document from 1298, Kalch=Kalk=Untergrund and Revt=Reuth=Rodung hence the name Kalchreuth. We start here directly from the Sparkasse (parking Sa/Sun unlimited and free) but there are enough parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the hiking trail, I think also free of charge. From here you …
