Beautiful circular hiking route through Euscheid, along the Enz Cycle Path past the "Tree ABC" and along the Euscheid ponds
This circular hike offers beautiful distant views, interesting insights into a very original "farm museum" and also educational information along the "Tree ABC" on the Enz Cycle Path. From A for Apple tree to Z for plum, trees have been planted here along the path in alphabetical order by the Euscheid village community.
Highlights along the way:
- Peter Schmitz farm museum
- Tree ABC on the Enz Cycle Path
- Euscheid ponds
- Tunnel at the former railway track
The path is accessible with a stroller.
Author’s recommendation
After the hike, a visit to Euscheid's "Gompelmanns Bio to go", an organic shop open around the clock, Alter Weg 5, is worthwhile
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
