Description

The circuit runs directly next to the village center and follows a forest path along the Wegscheidbach stream. The starting point is the church in the village center. From there, follow the road downhill in a southerly direction. Shortly before the fire station, the path branches off into the forest on the left side. The forest path leads along the Wegscheidbach stream and past rest areas, play stations (from summer 2027), and the open-air inhalatorium (graduation tower), where salt water trickles over fir brushwood. The salty air invites you to take deep breaths and linger for a moment. Continuing along the path, the loop passes the site of an old lime kiln. The path then climbs slightly and leads back into the village. Between the church and the municipal office, the loop ends with a refreshing cool-down in the foot and arm basins.
