The most striking feature of this beautiful trail is, as the name suggests, the forest. Numerous nature trails invite you to learn more about the sensitive öcosystem. Historic sites are also passed, such as the Adelberg monastery, which can look back on an eventful history. In the Nassach valley, you can watch one of the last active craftsmen at work, and for spontaneous visitors there is a round-the-clock wedding service in Rechberghausen.
