Sometimes the trail goes along the Wild Schagbachtal dream trail, sometimes along the WWW Birgeler Urwald, and often the trails are one and the same.

The dream tour Wildes Schaagbachtal could also be described as the "little sister" of the premium hiking trail Birgeler Urwald.
The nature is spectacular, especially at the beginning of the tour. The swamps, the clearings and even the dead trees look impressive.

This tour is a discovery and highly recommended!
But be careful: The markings are not always optimal; in some places the sign (see cover photo/photo 29) is obscured by leaves or even missing.
@Kathrin Do you know the tour?

On the last day of my summer vacation, I went again to the Wild Schaagbachtal Dream Path after a long time. The bridge at the Biberdamm is finally finished. The mood was already slightly autumnal. Nevertheless, I got a lot in front of the camera.

The “dream path” from Wildenrath is always beautiful! It's wonderful to see how everything is green and partly blooming! And then I reward myself with apple strudel and vanilla ice cream at the Dahlheimer Mühle! In this sense. : Beautiful Easter! 😏😋🍰☕️
