Learn to recognize animal tracks and explore the sounds of the forest together on the nature adventure trail in Heppenbach. Here art, nature, and the educational trail come together. Coniferous and mixed forest alternate at the beginning of your hike. It goes slightly uphill to the "Hepscheider Kneppche". If you need a small break now, a bench is waiting for you there. Afterwards, you will pass the Rugtloof quarry with its impressive rocks.
You enter the nature adventure trail via an overgrown path that leads you into a beautiful deciduous forest. According to the motto “With all senses” you can feel, touch, try out, marvel, and participate here. The adventure trail appeals to the explorer in you. So, why not play a song on the tree organ or take a seat in the forest theater? On small paths off the main route, you will find more works of art. Some are mysterious, like the glass house, which immortalizes stories from children around the world, and others impressively large, like the crown twelve-pointer. What kind of animal could that be? Find out.
