Beech Avenue in Alter Hau

Highlight • Forest

This beech avenue is beautiful. The path is wide and easy to walk. When it's windy you can hear the rustling of the trees 🌳 🌳 🌳. No matter what time of year you hike along here, it is simply a pleasure to enjoy the forest there.

Very nice hike through the Fohnbach valley. The trail can be started at the Krofdorf swimming pool.

Today there were many different butterflies to be seen along the trail. The trail then continues a little way uphill, with only forest …

Beautiful hike on well paved paths. There are benches everywhere along the way to rest or enjoy the peace and quiet in the forest. In summer it is usually cooler here than in the village.
