In spring or after a downpour, your shoes will soak in the mud here. You will be rewarded with beautiful views of the idyllic Reitlingstal and a narrow, romantic single trail.

The Reitling restaurant has so far been a popular destination in the Elm. Many hikes in and around the Reitlingstal can be undertaken from here. Many visitors also appreciate the combination of a visit to a restaurant and a hike.

Very muddy paths in places. On the way through the forest to the north and parallel to Reitlingstraße, there were still a few trees lying across, also partly muddy here.
