A themed trail for young and old, which makes it possible to experience the surroundings of the spa at 11 experience stations. A trail entirely in keeping with the motto: "Thinking about the future".
The Nature and Culture Experience Trail takes you around the spa and the village of Bad Blumau, passing 11 interactive stations that encourage you to think about the future.
The circular trail is laid out in the form of a figure-eight loop, signposted in both directions and partly barrier-free. With two entry points, you can decide whether you want to start in the village or at the spa.
We start at the entrance to Therme Blumau and walk along the car park in a northerly direction. The hiking trail leads directly along the Safen River until we reach an asphalt road. Turn left over the bridge and continue to the crossroads in Schwarzmannshofen where we turn left again. After about 200 m, we turn right into a side road. Now follows a very beautiful stretch of forest. Along a forest road we hike slightly up and down to the station "The almost 1,000-year-old oak" and further to the forest playground.
Continue along the back side of the spa area and you will soon reach the asphalt road, where you turn left and walk along the pavement to the next crossroads. Turn right and walk slightly uphill until you reach the "Kraut-Funding & Seed-Bombing" station near the church. We walk through the centre of Bad Blumau, past the station "A "real" farm", and continue along the main road towards the south. Shortly after a crossroads with a wayside shrine, we pass the station "Heumitzi & Wiesentoni" on the left.
A short stretch across meadows and fields and then we turn left and continue straight on past the "BIO-Apfel con Funghi" station to the centre of Bad Blumau. At the municipal office, we cross the Safen on a small wooden bridge. Then turn left along the gravelled path to the adventure stations "Lauchscharf & bibergeil" and "Invisible Messages". After a short while we see the "Bad Blumau Wheel of Life". Continuing in the direction of the spa, we reach the "Band of Diversity" station. Now a detour into the spa area to the "Paradise lost" station and we reach our starting point again.
The circular trail is signposted in both directions. The nature and culture trail "Thinking about the future" can also be walked with children, as there are many stations where they can try things out. With older children or their partners, there are question and answer games. There are many boards and information to read and learn new things about the environment or copulation of apple varieties.
