Forstbachtal Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

A beautiful landscape that you unfortunately have to walk through on paved roads. Nice small or larger houses with great gardens and the quiet babbling of the forest stream.

Of course you can skip the dead end to the yard, we just missed the junction 😬

A lovely green route. Mostly paved paths, though. So it's also suitable for rain. 😉

September 16, 2023,Forstbachtal - Start am Parkplatz Hahnenfähre (AnGer)

A nice round, even if the paths were mostly asphalted. Lots of ups and downs. We did the short but steep climb at the beginning. Had it been the other way around, it would have been a gentle, long climb.

Varied path with fields but also woods. It also goes up and down well.😁👍🏻

Very nice hike through a small forest and many fields. Impressive horizons. A minus point for the many paved paths or roads, plus points for the benches to rest and enjoy the view.

Very nice hike through forest, meadows and fields over the ladder to heaven with 145 steps, or was it 146? A bit too much asphalt in my opinion, so a few points are deducted. 7/10

Nice views. Lots of asphalt, little shade, so better not on very sunny days.
