Between Flower Diversity and Wide Views

The route is designed as an easy hike with scenic sections and is suitable for guests who want to combine enjoyment of nature with gentle exercise.
Moosbach Gorge and Natural Forest as Quiet Highlights

The interplay of gorge, forest, and water adds to the charm of this tour and deepens the insight into the ecological fabric of the region.
Knowledge to Touch: Hitzelsberg and Bernauer Höfe Path
The hike combines the loop around Hitzelsberg with elements of the Bernauer Höfe Path.
