This hike in the beautiful Trôs-Marets Valley is an absolute highlight route (not just) for children. Because what do little explorers love? Adventure, of course. Here they can test themselves by climbing over rocks and pushing their own limits. They can hop over roots and play by the water. And incidentally, the route is also wonderful for bringing the little ones closer to life by the river and in the forest. An animal surprise awaits at the very end of the circular route. In a fenced enclosure, a little off the path, lives a group of wild boars. In spring, female wild boars with their piglets can be observed here.
The first part of the route leads you through the coniferous forest. You descend into the valley. The babbling of the wild stream can be heard from a distance. The rocky path transitions into a root-strewn trail. Rocks appear and shape the landscape. A bridge stretches over the wild stream in the valley, which branches into several small waterfalls. Just behind the bridge, you get to climb a bit. Steel cables anchored in the rock provide support on sometimes slippery stones. Along the water, the path goes slightly uphill.
The last part of the route takes you back through the forest, under tall trees, and along lush green meadows.
