Beautiful nature trail to walk, which leads through a hollow way and serves as a good connection to and from the Schertelshöhle and Burkhardtshöhle.

The site is located on the edge of the Swabian Jura, at an altitude of approx. 700 meters, and offers excellent opportunities for sailing and motor flights. The clubhouse with a restaurant and viewing terrace is open from March to October on weekends and public holidays.

Belvedere Temples: Built as Belvedere Above the spa house, a path leads through meadows and scattered fruit trees to the small viewing pavilion „Tempele“. It was built in 1824 as a Belvedere (a place with a wide view). From here, there is a wide view over Bad Boll and the landscape of the Swabian Jura. Below the Tempele are striking grazing oaks and the Mostbirnenlehrpfad (a learning path for cider pears), which makes the region's traditional scattered fruit culture tangible.

Sinnes Wandel Path: The "Sinneswandel Nature Trail" invites you to leave everyday life behind and experience nature with all your senses. The unpaved path leads uphill and downhill, over streams, roots, and ravines, and shows the diversity of the forest. Sure-footedness and sturdy footwear are required (hiking boots are best). Due to slippery, wet sections, the path is not suitable for strollers or walkers. The Sinneswandel is accessible at any time and is suitable for walkers, nature lovers, and families who plan about an hour for a relaxing forest experience.
