Löwenpfad 'Orchideenpfad' (Orchid trail)

They bloom in all imaginable colors: dark wine red, soft vanilla yellow and delicate purple adorn the flowers of the orchids that bloom along the approximately ten kilometer long lion's path. The tour takes you into the Wasserberg-Haarberg nature reserve and is an insider tip, especially for nature lovers.

You start your hike with great views on the saddle between Reichenbach im Täle and Unterböhringen. From here it goes straight uphill through the fragrant juniper heaths to magical viewpoints and cozy benches in the shade of sweeping trees. On the ascent to the Haarberg you can walk through the orchid meadows and enjoy the colorful flowers of numerous rare plants.

In gentle ascent and descent you hike through fragrant forest and leave civilization far behind you. This comes into view again at the Wasserberghaus hiking home and offers you the perfect opportunity for a long break. Freshly strengthened, you now wind your way along the edge of the forest around the Wasserberg and have three Kaiserberge, the valley and the babbling Fischbach in front of your eyes. As soon as you reach the Wasserbergweg, you are back at the starting point of the tour.
