    The hike starts at the forest car park and leads you through the Grönenbach forest towards Rothenstein. There you walk to the Nature Friends House (Rechberg House, not staffed!). We recommend making a small detour to our communication bench - the furniture of the Allgäu hiking trilogy - there. Turn left, after a few meters you reach the bench. Take a seat and enjoy the wonderful view of nature and the Iller.  Back at the Rechberg House, follow the path to the Iller experience bridge and finally begin the descent to the Iller.

    After leaving the primeval forest-like part of the Iller, follow the river course to the Iller experience bridge. Here you can take a break.

    The way back leads you via Rothmoos, where you meet the nature experience trail, which takes you back to Bad Grönenbach.

    Author’s recommendation

    Iller experience bridge: Here you have the opportunity to climb the 23 m high tower to enjoy the view of the steep Iller wall or to do a refreshing round of Kneipp water treading in the water basin.

    Roadbook

    Start at the forest car park and follow the signs to Rothenstein. Shortly before Rothenstein, you pass the Kneipp water treading facility, then turn left, and walk a short stretch along the road. Opposite the hiking car park, the path goes right towards the Rechberg House, which you follow. Upon reaching the Rechberg House, you can make a small detour to our communication bench by turning left there. Then walk back to the Rechberg House and follow the sign "Iller experience bridge". Via a natural wood staircase, you get down to the Iller. Caution when wet!

    Once down, turn right. After leaving the primeval forest-like part of the Iller again, follow the signs towards the Iller experience bridge.

    Then start the return journey and first walk about 1 km back in the direction you came from. Then follow the signposted cycle path, which slightly turns left and leads relatively steeply uphill. At the top, watch out for the hiking trail signs and turn right there towards the Rechberg House. Along the forest edge, you reach the "Rotkreuz" and turn towards Rothmoos. There, take the road to Bad Grönenbach, which turns right, until you meet the nature experience trail. Follow the nature experience trail until you come out at the castle pond. Walk past the castle activity park and the sports field, cross Rothensteiner Street, the forest car park is then a few meters on the right.
