    The route starts at the Kurhaus, from there west into the pedestrian zone and further to the Kurpark. The Kurpark was laid out at the end of the 19th century; the first trees were then donated by Archduke Josef of Austria-Hungary. Continue to the fragrance and aroma garden and the medicinal herb gardens. Then follow the sycamore maple avenue to Schöneschach. At the chapel stands the oldest tree in the city, the Peace Linden, planted in 1647. From Schöneschach on the Swabian-Allgäu hiking trail, later also the Kneipp forest trail through the Bad Wörishofen forest. The Kneipp forest trail is an exciting circular trail about forest, plants, and animals in connection with Father Kneipp and his five elements. At the "Place of Sound" hikers can try the dendrophon. Turn left at the parking lot: here was once the place Hinterhartenthal. The village center with the village lime and the fountains are still preserved. Continue past the sound tree, at the fork turn right and to the "Place of Forest and Nature Beings." The station takes young and old on a journey into the world of gnomes, trolls, and nymphs. Further southeast, turn left at the forest mill (possibility to cool off at the "Place of Freshness") and along the longest hawthorn hedge in southern Germany to the forest lake. From there, the path leads north along the most beautiful lime tree avenue in the city back to the Kurhaus.

    Tips and suggestions

    The linden is a Kneipp medicinal plant and a sociable tree.

    On the Kneipp forest trail, the trees of the forest are explained on panels.

    Roadbook

    The route starts at the Kurhaus, from there west into the pedestrian zone. Here large lindens give shade, beneath which countless flower beds bloom. The hiker walks about 250 m along the pedestrian zone and then turns right into Hans-Holzmann-Straße, crosses Fidel-Kreuzer-Straße and takes the Franz-Kleinschrod path to the Kurpark. The Kurpark was laid out in 1897; the first trees were donated then by Archduke Josef of Austria-Hungary. Past the Father Kneipp fountain, continue to the fragrance and aroma garden and the three medicinal herb gardens. Then follow the sycamore maple avenue on the Kneipp hiking trail to the Kirchbichl forest. From there continue to Schöneschach. At the chapel stands the oldest tree in Bad Wörishofen, the Peace Linden, planted in 1647. From Schöneschach on the Swabian-Allgäu hiking trail, later also the Kneipp forest trail through Bad Wörishofen forest. The Kneipp forest trail is an exciting circular trail with over 40 themed stations and more than 60 sub-stations about forest, plants, and animals in connection with Father Kneipp and his five elements. At the "Place of Sound" the hiker can, for example, try the dendrophon. Turn left at the parking lot. Here was once the place Hinterhartenthal. The village center with village lime and some fountains are still preserved. Continue over the hollow sound tree and the forest beer garden. At the fork, turn right and continue to the "Place of Forest and Nature Beings." The family adventure station takes young and old on a journey into the world of gnomes, trolls, nymphs, sylphs, and other nature beings. Back to the path, then left and immediately right. At the forest mill, turn left along the Wörthbach with the possibility to cool off at the "Place of Freshness." Continue along the longest hawthorn hedge in southern Germany to the forest lake. From there, the path leads north over the most beautiful linden avenue in Bad Wörishofen via Gammenrieder Straße and Hauptstraße back to the Kurhaus.
