Discover various stations, blooming meadows, dense forests, and the beekeeper's house with a display honeycomb and beehives along the child-friendly adventure route "BienenWald".

This circular hiking route takes you on a journey into the fascinating life of bees. Along the child-friendly path, you discover various stations that make the interaction between bees, the forest, and humans tangible. Sometimes the path leads through dense forests, sometimes over blooming meadows – always accompanied by the buzzing of the busy pollinators.

A special highlight is the beekeeper's house, where you can observe the lively activity inside a beehive up close on the display honeycomb. Here you experience how the bees work, communicate, and produce honey – a unique insight into the life of these fascinating insects.

An experience for young and old that imparts knowledge and makes nature perceptible with all the senses.

Please note: There are no refreshment facilities on the short circular hike, but there are several picnic spots. A place to eat is the Untereggerhof Inn. You can reach it by a short detour from the beekeeper's house towards the observatory, and it is not directly on the route. Walking time: 30 minutes (1.5 km).
