The amalgamation of the Black Forest Center / North Nature Park found this idea unique, which is why it promotes the establishment and maintenance of the paths. Because they are a unique and educational destination with a high fun factor. The sole aim is to bring the visitors closer to nature through exciting experiences and to understand that it is really worth protecting our nature.

The great robber path

The starting point is at the Strohbacher Festplatz. The big robber path is primarily useful for young people and adults and is also four kilometers long. It connects existing biotopes.

For particularly curious and lively children, you can borrow the discovery backpack from the Tourist Information. With stimulating things like magnifying glasses, binoculars and identification book, the adventures are even more fun.

The city Gengenbach together with the Federal Environment Center Ortenau, designed the individual stations according to environmental educational perspectives. Each station shows new elements and conveys interesting facts through joint activities. This makes both paths fun for the group.
