The Thought Path with quotes from the Zöbern author Ernst Ferstl is accessible all year round.
Description
"There is no path that leads in only one direction." Along the Thought Path you will find panels with short texts by the author Ernst Ferstl, inviting you to pause and reflect.
Under the direction of OSR Director Friedrich Geiderer, the path was opened in 2008 as a project of the HS Krumbach and the polytechnic school. Along the Zöbernbach, you walk on a paved promenade within one hour from the village centre in Bad Schönau to Krumbach. The destination is the museum village in Krumbach, where various wooden and masonry works from the 16th and 17th centuries are exhibited. For example, an exhibition with multimedia guide was set up in the former civic hospital. Those who want to refresh themselves after the hike can do so at the Gasthof Heissenberger and the Krumbacherhof. At the beginning of the hike in Bad Schönau, a visit to the Sconarium, an interactive exhibition about the healing spring, and a detour to the well-known inn Triad beyond the local boundaries are also possible. The creative and high-quality cuisine at Triad has already been awarded several times by Gault Millau and Falstaff – table reservations recommended.
The path is usually cleared in winter and thus accessible all year round and also passable by bike – still, caution is required for ice and snowdrifts!
