    Water is the guiding theme on the premium hiking trail, Brunnen- und Quellenweg. Via the Biosphere Trail, the premium trail initially leads into the Spießwoog valley to the Klosterweiher. Fish ponds are passed as well as the springs in the Deckental and Schlettenbacher valley. A short break is recommended at Roßbrunnen before the ascent to the natural monument rock formation Hohle Felsen begins. From the height it goes again down into the water-rich valley to Fischbrunnen. The following route through the nature reserve Wolfsäger valley and Sauertal is characterized by untouched nature. The circular route finally leads through the biosphere park, past the chapel St. Ulrich back to the Biosphere House, the starting point of the hike.

    UFFBASSE! - Campaign for considerate coexistence in nature

     

    Always behave predictively, friendly and considerately towards everyone you meet on the way.

    Respect nature, do not destroy plants and always stay on the paths.

    Remember a garbage bag for the way and take waste back home with you.

    Please always keep your dog on a leash. Other visitors and animals will thank you.

    Observe all path closures for your own safety. Even at weekends.

    Park only in designated parking areas. Leave space for emergency routes and agricultural machinery.

    Please give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic.

    Safety information

    Especially in autumn, attention must be paid to the fact that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or rainstorms, trees may still fall or branches may fall afterwards. Especially in adverse weather conditions, there can be muddy and slippery sections on natural paths. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Sure-footedness is required in places. You must expect such trail impairments when you go hiking. If you believe that certain sections are impassable for you, you should bypass them. Despite the “non-missable” marking of the premium trails, we recommend always having an appropriate hiking map with you for safety reasons, so that you can quickly find a safe area in case of thunderstorm or emergency.

    NOTE:

    We strive to announce all closures caused by forest work, hunting societies on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you encounter closures or detours on site, please observe the instructions for your own safety.
