For the whole family
Barefoot Trail and Forest Nature Trail Loop
Would you like to go for a walk with children or simply enjoy a special experience? Then we recommend the barefoot trail in the Vitalpark near the Schmelzteich. Walking mindfully on a barefoot trail provides intense stimulation to the foot’s reflex zones and is gentle on the joints. The circular barefoot trail runs through the heart of the Vitalpark. Feel the wood chips, tree discs, gravel, sand and clay, bark mulch and much more under your feet.

A walk along the forest nature trail is also a great option for families. There are information boards about trees and other vegetation along the route. The trail starts and ends at the Schmelzteich.
