Picturesque circular route around Botnang near Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg.
The route symbol is a cuckoo on a wooden sign with a red arrow. Even though there is a boar on Botnang's coat of arms, the town's symbol is the cuckoo. This goes back to a story about the then Duke of Württemberg, who heard a cuckoo and wanted the population to get the bird's nest. Since the entire forest is considered his nest, the Botnangers had to hand over the beautiful forests to him.
The forest can now be crossed by anyone using the well-developed network of paths. There are places to stop for refreshments in the city center. It is possible to travel to the starting point by tram.
