The Lillach has a lot to offer, not only the sinter terraces, but also a real spring. The spring water flows beautifully from under a stone and across the path. Fantastic playground for children and a picnic area for all weary hikers. However, don't expect to be alone here. This hiking trail is too well known.

Highlight • Trail

Very nice hiking trail a little above the main route. Nice to run and in the shade.

Lillach Tufa Terraces

Highlight • Waterfall

Really a highlight that is second to none. The path along the Lillach has a few steps (therefore it is only partially suitable for prams), but it is well developed and has several rest areas where you can enjoy the wonderful nature in peace. On weekends, however, there is quite a lot of hiking traffic. I recommend the hike after rain or in spring, when there is a lot of water and the creek is not overgrown.

Picnic Area by the Lillach After the Sinter Terraces

Highlight • Rest Area

After the terraces, you walk along a beautiful wooden path and up some steps. Here, in the middle of the forest, you will find a wonderful rest area with a few benches. It's a dream to have an evening meal here. You can hear the water in the background.
