More information

The Pöls elementary school is located right in the center of Pöls. The tour starts from there.
From the elementary school, the path leads towards Offenburger Straße and on to Oberkurzheim. Continue along a dirt road and turn right at the fork to reach the Offenburg ruins. The remains of this historic site are a fascinating testimony to times gone by. After passing the ruins, continue along the trail to the former Schachmoar farm, where you turn left. The forest road finally leads you back to the starting point of this picturesque hike.

The Offenburg ruins tell silent stories of days long gone, while the Schachmoar farm inspires the imagination with its rustic beauty and touch of nostalgia. The forest road offers a pleasant way back, surrounded by dense greenery and the soothing rustle of the trees.

This route is not just a walk through nature, but also a journey into the past. A perfect excursion for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
It's worth stopping off at one of our inns or coffee houses!
