Roadbook
A popular spot for children is the Sonderbachsee playground, situated in a picturesque location. With a well-maintained selection of varied play equipment and a public barbecue area, the Sonderbachsee—complete with its ducks—offers a peaceful place to relax for young and old alike. Amid magnificent nature in its original state, framed by the Häberen and Strütlen biotopes as well as the orchard meadows along the path, the route continues toward Krettenhof, which has its own organic farm store. With the Three Emperor Mountains—Hohenstaufen, Rechberg, and Stuifen—always in view, the loop trail through the forest ends back in the town center.
