Directions
The tour starts at the Stollmühle and can be walked in both directions. It is designed as a circular route. The route is first described below through the village. So you first walk along the road. After a short while on the paved road, you come to a parking lot, where you turn right and have to conquer the first mountain path. At the top, keep right along the road until you reach a crossroads, where you turn left. You then come to an open area and continue downhill through meadows and woods. There are lots of information boards along the way where children can actively participate. At the bottom, you can see the old bridge piers of the Stützengrün viaduct. Take a short detour to the left to the barefoot path. Seating invites you to linger. After a short break, return to the bridge pillar and continue uphill to the left. If you are lucky, you may come across Highland cattle. Continue into the forest along the Weißbach stream until you reach some steps. A few meters further on, the trail climbs steeply to the left over steps. At the top, turn left along the edge of the forest. Continue along the edge of the forest until you reach the forest again. There the path goes steeply downhill. After a while you come to a bench. Take a short detour to the left and you will reach the old bridge pillar of the viaduct, which serves as a viewing platform. Then go back to the bench and follow the path keeping to the right until you reach an old railroad bridge. Turn left behind the garden shed and walk steeply downhill. When you reach the bottom, there are benches where you can rest or have a picnic. After a short rest, keep right again along the edge of the forest. Until you take a steep bend to the right back into the forest. Continue along the path until you reach a wooden bridge. After the bridge, take the steps up and then immediately turn left along the edge of the forest. After a short while, you come to the school path and turn left. From here you can already see the Stollmühle mill and the destination. Now you can quench your hunger or thirst there.
Have fun hiking.
