Directions

The starting point is the adventure playground. From there, we walk past the bison and sheep enclosure on the left and turn right round the corner. After a short distance, we turn left and leave the wildlife park grounds. Here we walk straight ahead for a short distance and then turn left again onto the main path. We pass the Wilhelmshütte hut and then turn slightly left to reach the next stations (beam hopping). We then keep right and follow the narrow path, cross the main path and head towards "Großer Wolfstein". At the second junction, turn right and follow the signs for "Waldkirche / Kleiner Wolfstein". After passing the Kleiner Wolfstein, we reach the last stations. We turn right at the hanging station and return to the climbing forest / adventure playground at the end of the path.

Safety instructions

Particularly in autumn, it is important to note that leaves lying on the ground can cover uneven surfaces, roots, stones or holes in the path. This type of path impairment is to be expected.

For your own safety, please stay on the marked paths.
