The hike from the town center of Weingarten (district of Ravensburg) to the Stillen Bach, which was built by Benedictine monks for the water supply of the monastery, and to the Rößler Weiher near Köpfingen offers a lot of variety and relaxation in nature over a distance of almost 10 km. The route is also beautiful when fog lingers in the Schussental for days in autumn. The Stillen Bach and the Rößler Weiher then create a special atmosphere.

A very nice, rather easy route of 8 km length starting from the Weingarten outdoor pool along the Stiller Bach to the Rößler Weiher, which is circled (picnic opportunity at the bathing beach); then it goes back towards the Zundelbacher Linde, but you keep right in the valley, which is crossed. Then it goes steeply uphill until you reach the barbecue area again. There you close the loop.
