The Walderlebnis Grillenburg is for young and old and offers three different paths to discover and understand the forest in a new way. The Walderlebnis Grillenburg includes the adventure paths Holzweg, Abenteuerpfad, and Sinnespfad. The themed path is about 2.5 km long (including the return).

Along a brook leads the Abenteuerpfad, where children can play and discover aquatic life. For a picnic in the forest, there is a seating area and a wooden train.

The Sinnespfad has various stations where you can get to know the forest in a different way.
How do cones and needle litter feel underfoot?
Why do woods sound different?
How can you make a phone call with a tree?
What does the forest smell like?
What can you discover from the observation tower?

The adventure path Holzweg follows the Triebisch brook. The path has ten stations. Information boards show the diversity of wood, from assortments to uses to wood products. You also learn how wood is structured and how growth rings form. The Holzweg leads to the Triebisch parking lot. According to legend, a brook spirit lives nearby who grants every visitor a wish.

The forest experience is freely accessible at any time.
