Energy walk (barrier-free)
You stroll through the Siggerigraben on a slight incline along the rushing Gamsbach stream, which cools on hot summer days. The stream offers many opportunities to discover nature, especially for children. Here you can playfully explore the flora and fauna at the water's edge.
The path is well paved throughout and is also very suitable for wheelchair users. After three kilometres you reach the quarry.
Gordon Freeman Fraser, energy researcher and nutrition expert, declared this quarry an energy site. Take advantage of this opportunity and recharge your batteries at this magical place for your next hikes in Schilcherland.
The hiking trail is marked "ES".
