Rotbachtal Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

You can walk beautifully on natural paths directly along the stream. In winter, of course, it's muddy in places. But at the weekend it was too crowded for a relaxed dog tour.

We postponed the longer tour and walked the path that I had discovered for myself yesterday. Yesterday I only walked a section, today we were able to extend the path for ourselves.

Stefanie immediately fell back into her "athletic pace", there were no intermediate steps. It was fun!

Very impressive, smaller tour, the weather was frosty and beautiful.

Highly interesting stream loop circuit in the nature reserve.
The Rotbach flows beautifully,
Exciting roots, especially on the banks.
You can smell autumn!

Very nice area, dogs generally have to stay on a leash, but many let their dogs run along the paths along the stream - you should really avoid it on the other paths because of hunters, horse riders and mountain bikers.
