Mountain Forest Route

The walk leads through the Mindelheim mountain forest, an approximately two square kilometer mixed forest of beeches and spruces as well as occasional larches and maples. From the parking lot on Bergwaldstraße, the path leads west through the shady forest. Then it goes along the edge of the forest to the northern edge, where a beautiful view opens up over the valley and the district of Westernach. The return path passes by a small alley of Douglas firs, which were planted over 100 years ago and today reach a stately height of about 50 m. At the end of the hike, a detour to the Katharinenkapelle is recommended, where a wonderful view over Mindelheim opens up.
