Windberg circular

This hike leads across meadowsin the direction of St. Helen to the Rauchenwald Inn, further into the ditch and past the Kneipp facility. A detour is made to the "Small Water World", up to the Windberg and via Hitzmannsdorf and then hikes back to the bathing lake.
Near the Rauchenwald Inn there is an old wayside cross from the 16th century - "Rauchenwald cross". It is very valuable and very well preserved. At the beginnings of the Grebenberg you will find the Kneipp falility on the right hand side (therefore: pack a towel and try it out!). The "Little Water World" is worth its detour. Many water wheels, dams and lillte houses invite you to linger in a shady grove - great snack spot for kids!
