Beautiful hike in the Elberndorfer Bachtal nature reserve.
On the hike here in the nature reserve, it can be experienced how nature can recover. There used to be afforested spruce trees in the valley, but today mountain meadows, mat-grass meadows and fescue moors as well as swamp forest have been able to develop here after the spruce trees were removed. As a result, the valley is now home to rare species such as marsh violets, marsh bluebells and cotton grasses. With a bit of luck, kingfisher, the ducate firefly, blue-winged damselflies and the brook lamprey can be spotted.
The start is at the car park just off Elberndorf street. The route follows forest tracks and partly tarmac sections.
