Bächlewald Forest and Adventure Trail
Fun for the whole family!
Run around, explore nature, practice skills, have fun, enjoy the scenery – this family outing will be great!
The hiking trail gently leads over small paths and forest roads to the “Willy Kern Hut”, an ideal spot to enjoy your packed lunch and then back down to the forest lake. More than 34 information boards about the forest and 7 adventure stations are scattered along the route. Benches invite you to rest and enjoy along the way. At the end, you can play mini golf at the “Waldseeterrasse” inn. And while the parents enjoy the gastronomic offerings of the “Waldseeterrasse”, the children can play on the playground right next door. A successful day out!
Author’s recommendation
Part of it is also accessible with a stroller. For this, park on Bächlewaldweg and follow the wide forest path to the Willy Kern Hut. Return the same way.
