    High above Edenkoben, the Peace Monument towers amidst a special protected area, the Natura2000 bird protection area. This important habitat is home not only to well-known wild animals such as deer, foxes, and woodpeckers but also provides a home for many insects. The insect educational trail shows important insect species on a short and a long route and explains their connection to the forest and humans. Birds, trees, and shrubs are also not forgotten. There is much to discover, from antlions to dead wood hotels. Illustrated and easy-to-understand signs explain the display examples in the forest. Interactive tasks provide entertainment, and a picnic area invites you to rest.

     

    UFFBASSE! - Campaign for a considerate coexistence in nature

    • Fire & Smoking - Making fires, smoking, and grilling are strictly prohibited in the forest and must be avoided at all costs! Fires and thus major damage to nature and wildlife can only be avoided this way.
    • Be considerate on the move - Always behave considerately, friendly, and respectfully towards everyone you meet on your way. This applies especially on farm roads where vintners, farmers, and foresters also work on weekends.
    • Nature protection - Stay on designated paths and avoid unnecessary noise when you are in nature. Leave the forest at twilight at the latest to avoid disturbing the rhythm of nocturnal animals.
    • Picnic & trash - Remember a trash bag for the way and take your waste home with you. Use only furnished rest areas for breaks & picnics.
    • Dogs on a leash - Please always keep your dog on a leash. Other visitors and animals will thank you.

    Safety information

    Hiking on natural trails and paths - Especially in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can fall afterwards. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in some places. You must expect such path impairments when hiking. If you think certain sections of the path are impassable for you, you should avoid them. Despite the "unmissable" marking of the premium hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons so that you can quickly find a safe area in case of a thunderstorm or emergency. Path closures and detours must be observed.

     

    Hazard situations - In case of an emergency, quick help is needed. And even though mobile phones can send GPS signals, classic rescue points are often the fastest. These are located at places easily accessible to emergency vehicles. Remember the points with green signs and a white cross. In an emergency, return there and give the number on the sign when calling for help. This way, rescue workers will know where to find you.

    Equipment

    For our hiking tours, we recommend the following equipment as standard:
    • Sturdy footwear
    • Weather-appropriate clothing
    • Sun and rain protection
    • Adequate supply of food and drinks, as there are not always dining or shopping options available or open.
    • Although the paths are very well marked throughout, it is recommended for safety reasons to always carry a suitable hiking map so that you can, for example, quickly find a safe area during a thunderstorm or emergency.
