On the "Wood Path," both big and small hikers can learn a lot of exciting things about the forest, its trees, and the use of wood.

The Holzweg adventure trail runs along the Triebisch and has ten stations. Display boards show the diversity of wood, from types of wood to uses and wood products. It also explains how wood is structured and how the annual rings form. The trail also passes the sensory path, where the forest can be experienced with all the senses. At the beginning of the tour, the Brook Spirit grants a wish in peace. At the end, the new Geo Info Point, Seerenteichstrasse 2, can be visited regularly on the first Saturday of the month or by appointment. There is also a wheelchair-accessible toilet with a ramp leading to the ground floor.
