Hiking

On Kuckucksweg, at the corner of Botnanger and Lindpaintnerstrasse, there are benches and a trampoline set in the ground.
Fun for the whole family.

Hiking

According to legend, the Duke of Württemberg once demanded that the locals bring him the nest of the bird with such a beautiful call. However, because the cuckoo is known to prefer to smuggle its eggs into other birds' nests, the entire forest can be considered his own. At least the nobleman preferred this interpretation and subsequently demanded the entire forest from the people of Botnang.
