Top root trail in best condition. Can be ridden very flowy and fast. However, you might encounter hikers, even though I never had that experience. So, better safe than sorry ;-)

The Murr spring marks the origin of one of the region's most important rivers. The water emerges directly from the slope and collects in a small, natural spring basin before making its way as a narrow stream through the Swabian-Franconian Forest.

The path runs predominantly on easily walkable forest and hiking trails and offers a pleasant mix of gentle climbs, wide forest passages and smaller, natural sections.

Well-known routes such as the Schützenhausweg circular hiking trail or extensive tours over the nearby Haube lead over the hill and through the Käsbühlstraße of the same name. A playground on Käsbühlstraße serves as a landmark for families.

It is also excellent for hiking. Not so many mountain bikers have ridden here yet. So the paths are not yet very destroyed by the profile tires.
