    The Alb Riverside Path conveys themes such as high and low water, flow velocity, and water energy to visitors by means of target group-appropriate information panels, and also provides exciting information about natural phenomena such as flora and fauna. Children in particular are encouraged to accompany the frog Ulli on his adventures along the banks of the Alb and to embark on their own individual discovery journey. The upper reaches of the Alb are made tangible for visitors. It is possible to enter the bank and the riverbed and thus experience the element of water up close, in the truest sense of the word.

    Entry is possible at any point of the route; the information panels each deal with self-contained topics. Starting panels are located at the spa house and at the bridge to the parking lot.

    Author’s recommendation

    The information panels are divided into two parts, with texts formulated in child-friendly language as well as texts aimed at adults that convey knowledge about the waterbody.

    Roadbook

    The path leads counterclockwise through the spa park. The starting point is at the starting panel behind the spa house, it goes over the bridge and then left along the Alb. At the next bridge, turn left again and then along the Alb to the end of the spa park. There we go left parallel to the path along the bank to the next bridge, cross the Alb and continue until we come left onto the middle path in the spa park, opposite the bridge at the treehouse by the other starting panel. We keep left and take the path that leads us to the fish pond behind the spa house.
