Winnetour Rodalben

After around 400 meters, turn right and continue in a south-westerly direction over a short steep section up to the Rodalber Felsenwanderweg. This Wanderbares Deutschland quality trail, which was voted Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in the multi-day tour category by the hiking magazine in 2022, is followed in an easterly direction by taking a sharp left turn. Now the more adventurous part of the tour begins, as the narrow path offers magnificent red sandstone rocks almost every minute, some with caves and seating areas that invite you to rest and linger. Passing the Hungerpfuhl rocks and the Hungerpfuhl spring, you finally reach the Karl May rocks, which could well serve as a backdrop for Winnetou films. The path winds picturesquely on and on through the monumental witnesses of time made of red sandstone... a feast for the eyes!

Once you have left the Karl May rocks behind you, you finally leave the rocky hiking trail again by taking a sharp left turn in a northerly direction. However, if you like, you can also take a short detour at this point, walk just under 300 meters further along the rocky hiking trail and take a look at the "Fledermaushöhle" (bat cave). This cave with its small, dome-like room at the end is particularly interesting for children, as it can only be reached via a low tunnel in which even older children have to bend down slightly. Flashlights or cell phones with a flashlight app are required here, as otherwise you can't see anything.

Back at the starting point of the detour, the descent back to Neuhof begins. After about 200 meters, keep to the right and then turn left after another 200 meters. Passing the buildings of the so-called "Ranch", where you can often see horses grazing, after another 200 meters you reach the idyllic Hungerpfuhltal valley with its extensive meadows and pastures, into which you finally turn right. After about 100 meters in a northerly direction, the nature trail finally becomes a narrow path. This now leads for about 400 meters through a wonderful, light-flooded mixed forest to the built-up area. Back in "civilization", follow the Hungerpfuhl road until you reach Neuhofstraße, where you turn left and walk past the bakery and café Busch & Naab in the Netto supermarket back to the starting point.

Now you can take advantage of the many play, sports and leisure facilities in the Schwallborn area. Play a round of mini golf or let your children let off steam on the playground or while skateboarding or playing soccer. You can also use the barbecue area or enjoy a tasty meal in the restaurant with its beautiful beer garden.
