A beautiful boardwalk. However, since it's located in a permanently wetland, it's always slippery, so please be careful. It's definitely worth it.

A great, long boardwalk with steps along the Böhme River. Mostly renovated, but there are still a few old sections. All of them are safe to walk on. However, they are constantly slippery, as they are located in the permanently wetland area along the Böhme River. So please always be careful.
