Geology to Touch
The path leads through a landscape filled with geotopes and distinctive terrain structures. Here, a window opens into a million-year-old past, where watercourses, rock formations, and relief have shaped the scenery. This connection of geological traces and well-maintained forestry paths makes the discovery experience so accessible and vivid.

Stories of a Valley with Cultural Heritage
Not only earth history is at the center, but also the significance of the landscape for Schlosspark Fantaisie and its former owners. Thus, a hike becomes a cultural enrichment with strong local references: local history to walk, marvel, and understand. The geoscientist brings together profound knowledge about nature and cultural history and creates a city tour in a broader sense, sharpening the view of the character of the place.
