View of Oberrüsselbach and the church steeple

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nearby (about 20m) there are two rest areas, one covered and one under the open sky, but in the shade.

Lillach Tufa Terraces

Highlight • Waterfall

Really a highlight that is second to none. The path along the Lillach has a few steps (therefore it is only partially suitable for prams), but it is well developed and has several rest areas where you can enjoy the wonderful nature in peace. On weekends, however, there is quite a lot of hiking traffic. I recommend the hike after rain or in spring, when there is a lot of water and the creek is not overgrown.

Picnic Area by the Lillach After the Sinter Terraces

Highlight • Rest Area

After the terraces, you walk along a beautiful wooden path and up some steps. Here, in the middle of the forest, you will find a wonderful rest area with a few benches. It's a dream to have an evening meal here. You can hear the water in the background.

Lillach Valley Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Easily walkable paths and footbridges. In great shape. In the later course, in order to get to the rest platform, a few steps have to be mastered.

September 21, 2023,Lillachquelle – Weg im Lillachtal Runde von Igensdorf, OF

Unfortunately, the Sinter Terraces were so overgrown (at the end of September) that you couldn't see them, but you could hear them... the splashing was simply wonderfully meditative, wonderfully relaxing. And from the Sinter Terraces the next 1-2km along the Lillach are simply fantastic.

Very nice circular hike with a very high stock of fruit trees and as a highlight the sinter terraces from the Lilllachquelle 🤩👌

Nice hike, some steep climbs, unfortunately the sinter terraces are currently almost completely without water due to the severe drought.
