BachtälchenwegPhoto: Franziska Schreyer, Thuringian Forest
Let yourself be carried into the calming atmosphere of the little creek in the Arnsgereuther Valley over three kilometers. Especially on hot summer days, this route offers pleasant coolness and fresh air. The path partly leads over the Family Path at the Feengrotten.
You will find panels with instructions for relaxation and balancing exercises. After a few hundred meters, you will reach a natural water treading basin.
The starting point is the spring house of the Saalfeld Feengrotten Adventure World.
From there you go past the parking lot and the caravan site. With a slight incline, you hike up the Arnsgereuther Valley against the flow of the creek. After a few hundred meters of the path, you reach the barefoot path and the water-treading basin. We then stay on the same side of the creek and after about 700 m reach the creek play station as well as the "Green Classroom". There, the creek must be crossed. On the other side of the creek, it goes always along the water back towards the starting point. There, further exciting stations of the Family Path invite you to look at and participate in. The route can be shortened by three bridges over the creek.
Author’s recommendation
From May to October, the Fairy World opens its doors. There, you can learn interesting facts about plants and animals, especially with children.
Also, one or the other fairy has already been observed here...
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
