The Gendarmstien is worthwhile as a waterside hiking trail at any time of year, if you want to switch off for a few days.

Truly impressive oak. The circumference is approximately 4-5 m. There is a general formula for medium growth (factor 1.6): 250 (years) * 1.6 = 400 (cm circumference)

Riding through the forest 🌳 on a road bike is definitely not recommended. Gravel biking, cycling, running, and hiking are great options. 👍🏻
