A holdover on the part of the Americans when they were still using the "Exe" as a training site.

We were able to enjoy the foals right from the first visit. A wonderful sight - especially for the children.

April 16, 2022,Przewalski-Wildpferden in Aschaffenburg-Schweinheim
Nice circular route around the nature reserve in which cattle live next to the wild horses. The path is well developed and should therefore be easily manageable with prams and wheelchairs. Dogs can come along, but should be on a leash, and in summer it's definitely too hot for our four-legged friends on the paved paths. On-site parking (for GPS: …

Today we went to visit the Przewalski horses on the Exe. It was also a good idea to walk around the whole paddock. We took advantage of the last rays of sunshine of the day and took a few photos of the wild horses and the landscape. No one went to the stake this time, although there were a few …

The 3 km adventure trail in the National Natural Heritage in the Aschaffenburg district of Schweinheim circles a 60 hectare paddock where Przewalski horses, Heck cattle and occasionally flocks of sheep graze. There are 15 panels along the trail that provide information about the animals and plants as well as the history of this former parade ground.

Despite total muggy the little trip to the Exe was nice.

The highlight were of course the wild horses 🙂

A very beautiful nature reserve has been created on the former US military training area (south of Aschaffenburg). Here you can discover Przewalski wild horses and Heck cattle (aurochs backbreed). It looks a bit like the Lüneburg Heath.

Nice evening walk. Fascinating what has become of the former military training area. There were hardly any people around in the evening. Absolutely beautiful.
