Themed trail at the Aschauerweiher natural swimming area

The trail first passes the Aschauerweiher Natural Swimming Area and then leads into the peaceful forest along the Maximilians-Reitweg. Shrubs, moss, and rocks along the approximately two-and-a-half-kilometer route create the perfect fairy-tale backdrop.

At each station, an illustrated panel introduces the featured fairy tale. The questions are designed so that children can answer them without having to read.

Children who complete all the activities correctly receive a small gift at the Bischofswiesen Tourist Information Center.
