Seelscheid Hiking Moment:

Nice 8km loop along Bob Lessbach and Naafbach, especially for dog owners. A varied route that offers a lot, especially for water rats. After a lot of rain, however, very muddy in parts.

Very nice tour on largely narrow paths. Just right to walk in. Then a delicious schnitzel and a Päffgen. What more do you want?

We kept passing cow and water buffalo pastures. Once the …

70% of the way leads over natural, narrow paths and only in the city area over roads with little traffic.
The circular route starts parallel …

An absolutely varied and worth seeing nature reserve!!!!

The tour can be wonderfully supplemented with the tour on the Naafbach and is also a great experience for families with small children!

The whole area is very natural and has a very wild landscape!

I will definitely come again!
