Mountain Heath Path

Highlights:
Mountain and juniper heath, Nette valley, Selbach Gorge valley, Raßberg, nature reserves Heidbüchel and Dr. Heinrich Menke Park
The path starts at the parking lot of the winter sports facility near Arft and leads through an open heathland into the nature reserve Heidbüchel. Untouched pines line the path through the typical sand and heath vegetation. At the summit of Heidbüchel, a unique view rewards the ascent. When descending through the forest, a path branches off to the neighboring dream trail "Wacholderweg." At the edge of the forest, the path turns left towards the Nette valley. Behind the small village of Netterhöfe, the Nette river is crossed and then the dream trail follows the stream down into the valley. Over a wooden bridge, it crosses the water once more. In the following Selbach valley, dense forest surrounds the hiker, impressive cliffs give the valley a gorge-like character. Along the babbling brook, it ascends through the woods and later on field paths to a shelter, from where a breathtaking panorama can be seen. It continues gently uphill across open fields. After crossing the L10, it continues to Dr. Heinrich Menke Park. After crossing the L10 again, passing the Konrad-Adenauer monument, the circuit of Raßberg still awaits. Soon the starting point of the dream trail is reached.
