Family-friendly, barrier-free, and senior-friendly "Easy Path" in the Sippersfelder Weiher nature reserve.
This path also offers people with limited mobility the opportunity to hike in nature. Wheelchair users or families with infants in strollers can easily use the "Easy Path" and enjoy the breathtaking nature around the Sippersfelder Weiher.
Benches along the route invite you to rest. The circular path is continuously marked with small orange-green signs and can be extended by 2.5 kilometers with the somewhat more demanding "Erlenbruch" path. Afterwards, a trip to the Retzberghütte at the eponymous pond is worthwhile.
UFFBASSE! – Campaign for respectful coexistence in nature
Fire & Smoking – Making fires, smoking, and grilling are strictly prohibited in the forest and must be avoided! Fires and thus large damages to nature and wildlife can only be prevented this way.
Being considerate – Always behave cautiously, kindly, and considerately towards everyone you meet on your way. This is especially true on service roads used by vintners, farmers, and foresters even on weekends.
Picnic & Waste – Remember to bring a trash bag and take your waste home. Use only the furnished rest areas for breaks and picnics.
Nature conservation – Stay on designated paths and avoid unnecessary noise when in nature. Leave the forest by dusk at the latest to not disturb the rhythm of nocturnal animals.
Leash your dogs – Please keep your dog on a leash at all times. Other visitors and animals will thank you.

RetzberghütteSafety information
Hiking on natural trails and paths – Especially in autumn, note that fallen leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches may drop afterward. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Surefootedness is required in some places. You must expect this kind of path impairment when hiking. If you find certain sections impassable, you should bypass them. Despite the trail markings, we always recommend carrying a suitable hiking map for safety, so you can quickly find a safe area in case of thunderstorm or emergency. Trail closures and detours must be strictly observed.
Hazard situations – In an emergency, quick help is needed. Even though mobile phones can transmit GPS signals, the classic rescue points are often fastest. These are located at spots easily accessible to emergency vehicles. Note the points with green signs and a white cross. In case of emergency, return there and give the number on the sign during your emergency call. This way rescuers know where to find you.
