Only very inconspicuously did the path surprise and impress me because of its diversity. Always worth a hike.

Start the tour from the Zieflensberg car park and then run the round anti-clockwise. Advantage: The Alb crossing (without a footbridge over stones or branches) is pretty much at the end and you don't have to go that far with wet feet :-)

Along the way, there are several interactive stations and information boards that are particularly interesting …
