Ochsenweg Trail

Highlight • Trail

The ox tour is a great tour that we love to do again and again. From the homert about 7 km long, and when you arrive at the pasture, you feel like you are in another country. Just great.

We had to cut our planned tour short and early. A thunderstorm was brewing. ⛈️ But we still got soaking wet (warm rain) 😅

I was inspired by Antje L. 😉 Thank you for the tip 🙏

The trail leads through an interesting mix of beech forests and meadows, around a vast area inhabited by the true stars of the Stilleking nature reserve: the Heck cattle. A very beautiful hike, although I chose a different route for the last stretch. I didn't want to go back up the water trail right at the beginning.
