Popular loop trail in the Bergstrasse-Odenwald Geo-Nature Park, Hesse.
This is a wonderful loop trail through the largest nature reserve in Hesse: the Kuehkopf-Knoblochsaue nature reserve. The floodplain landscapes of the Rhine and Altrhein not only provide a habitat for many rare species, but also have a well-developed network of trails. Another nature reserve, only very small at 16 ha, is located along the route: the brother holes, probably since the 15th century existing, very species-rich whirlpool holes, which are also called "Kolke".
Highlights of the hike:
- Old Rhine
- Kuehkopf-Knoblochsaue nature reserve
