The best MTB trails around Diedorf

… and always be prepared to drive a car: don’t take blind bends too fast (today, when the road through Gessertshausen was closed, many took the route through the forest 😟)

Nice place for a break

Currently this is the Diedorf Cultural Trail, Kultur Dahoam!

The castle pond in Burgwalden is a picturesque pond in the Augsburg - Western Forests Nature Park, about 20 kilometers southwest of Augsburg. It was created in the 16th century when the Augsburg patrician family Höchstetter built a moated castle, which no longer exists today. The pond originally served as a water source for the castle and for fish farming. Today the castle pond is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. There are well-developed hiking trails around the pond that lead through the idyllic landscape of the western forests. The "castle and church tour" is particularly recommended, an easy hike of about 7 kilometers that leads past the castle pond. Near the pond is the Church of Our Lady and St. Francis, which was built by the Höchstetter family in 1513. Opposite the church, the Burgwalden forest restaurant invites you to stop for a break. The castle pond is not only a place to relax, but also an important biotope. It provides habitat for numerous animal and plant species and contributes to the biodiversity of the region.

After a flood, the Ackermannwehr was gone..., now much more beautiful

With inviting green spaces and seating areas, the Supply Park offers numerous opportunities for relaxation.

The Anhauser Valley is considered one of the most beautiful valleys in the region and is the main protagonist of this tour. Lined with idyllic ponds and fairytale forests, through which some narrow and varied routes lead.
