Villa path, Fischbach

A hike through shady forests and with a viewing window into Joglland, the Fischbach Alps and the Hochwechsel area!

A fairly leisurely hike for everyone with a small, quite steep passage, but which is rewarded with a wonderful view!

We start our tour at the village square in Fischbach and walk to the petrol station
We turn right in front of it and follow the road past a large warehouse, where the gravel road begins
At first we have a good view towards Falkenstein, then we enjoy the tranquillity of the forest
In a bend to the right, we turn left onto a narrow, steep path uphill along a small stream
This path eventually leads into a forest path, which we continue along until we reach the “Gräfinnen-Villa” - a pretty little house at the top
From there, we walk slightly downhill along the access road until we arrive at Veronika's Kräuterhof
We turn left into the road until we pass the petrol station again at the village square in Fischbach
We can also hike the tour in reverse order!

There are many places to stop for refreshments as well as a swimming lake and a mini golf course in Fischbach.
