particularly beautiful section of the Aach, which meanders idyllically here.

There are still 3-4 trees in the way, but they are not a problem. In the lower part, there are whole bushes that require some skill to get through. Otherwise, it would be good to ride.

At the shore it stands still, the bench Marienschlucht 03, they say the gorge is here – but you don't see it, oh dear. The view remains invisible, the gaze goes into the air, but wooden seat wings invite you to linger, very gently. The gorge, which cannot be seen, means nothing, because here you can comfortably pamper yourself in peace. The wind plays on the backrest, the seagulls laugh softly, and everyone who sits down shares the eye-area with it. The clock at the corner ticks like a belated greeting, but time is quickly forgotten when you enjoy pleasure here. A bench that laughs, when stories arise, Marienschlucht 03, here you want to linger, not leave. So you sit there, between water, wind and fantasy, the gorge remains hidden – but peace draws it victoriously. Come by, treat yourself to a break, stay a little longer, Marienschlucht 03 welcomes you, with a very cozy swing.

Very slippery when wet. So maybe it's better to go through the stream 😎

Strictly speaking, it's more of a path than a trail, except for one very short section. So it's not a problem, although there are currently quite a few fallen trees lying around.

Storks are here year-round, as not all of them fly away in winter. Stork feedings also take place at the entrance to the monkey park.
