Schelde Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The way to the actual spring is quite overgrown in the summer months and accordingly the ticks danger in shorts high. But worth it to stop by here (see comment above).

Very nice hike. We liked the Wilhelmsteine and the lake with the high rock walls best. Unfortunately the turtle at the lake disappeared as soon as it saw us.

Unfortunately, most of the trail runs along wide forest roads. I don't find that particularly pleasant.
But the Wilhelmsteine are definitely worth a visit.
