A very nice path along the Lindenbach with several picnic spots. However, I find the designation "Tobel" a bit exaggerated.

Always beautiful, has a few steps, the trail that leads down to the barbecue area on the cultural trail is blocked by various tree trunks, perhaps intentionally😢

The Wissenbach Tobel Single Trail initially leads across a meadow. In the ravine descent, driving skills are required. After crossing the stream, the ascent can sometimes only be mastered by pushing.

Beautiful, well-developed path through the small Busslinger Tobel. Not accessible for riders (steps and narrow bridge), not suitable for wheelchairs, walkers or prams because there are many steps.
