A hike along the crab hiking mile near Fresach gives an insight into the world of the rare stone crab. The path leads through woods and meadows in a varied way, footbridges and small viewing platforms facilitate the view of the Weirerbach, and idyllic rest areas invite you to linger. The stone crab - the "Golden Knight" of the Weirerbach - lives here under stones and roots. With a bit of luck, you can observe the rare stream dwellers in their natural environment.

Here you can let your gaze wander up to the sky on wonderfully comfortable wooden loungers and let your thoughts about the crabs and your own problems take you to the sky. A very beautiful, mystical place close to nature.
