- Description
-
From the market square, walk along the nature trail with many information boards on the castle hill to the car park of Friedensburg Castle. If you book in advance, you can visit the castle. From the castle car park, walk along a forest path to the colourful pavilion with a storybook. The path leads past several play stations to the Hirschbach stream and on to the Nature Park House. There are playgrounds, a treasure chest and much more in the "NaturParkWelten". In the Nature Park House there is a hands-on exhibition on the water ouzel and fire salamander. An extensive collection of minerals and a terrarium with 5 fire salamanders are particularly impressive. You return to the starting point via the Mühlgraben and the historic old town.
- Directions
-
From the market square, follow the signpost (fire salamander on a white background) over the market steps past the church onto the nature trail to Schlossstraße. Walk along Schlossstraße in the direction of the castle until you reach a small car park on the left. Behind the car park, we turn left twice and follow the forest path until we see a colourful pavilion on the right. After the detour to the pavilion (50 metres), we follow the path further through a private property, later downhill into the Hirschbach valley and cross the B90 to the nature park house. From the nature park house, we walk 200 metres next to the B90 and turn right into the old mill race, we follow it and then the "main road" to the market.
