Bruchmühlbach-Miesau - Beetle Safari

Starting point of the Beetle Safari is the hiking car park at the Fritz-Claus Hut. To the east you will see the overview board of the nature discovery trail. (You will also find the flyers for the route here.)

TIP: Use the starting point for a souvenir photo with your family at our photo board.

From here follow the gravel path for about 300 meters. Then turn left onto a forest path until you reach the second station. Following a left curve you will soon encounter the sports trail. Turn left and then keep right again.

From now on you can test your fitness at the sports stations in the middle of the forest. When the forest clears, you have reached the so-called "Bergfeld". This agricultural area located at altitude is the largest of its kind in the region.

Along the field you will reach, shortly before the Beetle Safari turns right back into the forest, a bench and the third station. Here you can discover the animal sounds of some native forest inhabitants with your children.

The wide forest path leads you to the next station at the "Dreimärker". At the boundary stone, you have the opportunity to listen to the sounds of nature in peace and relax. Luca the stag beetle offers a great game tip at the relaxation lounger.

Continue along the wide gravel path towards the Hubertus fountain / forest experience area. There you will find picnic areas and can discover the nature stations. A mud hole invites you to play at the Hubertus fountain. At the animal long jump and the weightlifting stations, you can measure yourself against the abilities of the forest inhabitants and at the tree dice you can demonstrate what you know about trees. Questions about the work of the foresters are answered on the information board of the forestry office.

If you choose the mini route, from here follow the gravel path past the stations and the right curve. The path leads straight back to the starting point.

If you opt for the maxi route, from the forest experience area continue along the forest road above the clearing. Follow the Beetle Safari further towards Langwieden. Use this section of the path to solve the tasks with the magnifying glass from the nature explorer rally.

After a while, you have the opportunity to visit a beautiful viewpoint. You will have a view of Langwieden and the "Cathedral of the Sickinger Höhe" seen above (church, Martinshöhe). TIP: On some days you can observe horses in the adjacent pasture here.

Back on the circular path, you will soon reach the forest xylophone station. Do you know the local trees and their sounds? The final stretch leads you left onto a forest path after 400 meters. Shortly before reaching the car park, you meet the gravel path again, which leads you back to the starting point.
