Naturschauspiel Kreuth

The adventure trail along the Weißach in the Tegernsee Valley awaits families with varied games and nature scenes.

Description

The natural spectacle Kreuth - THE adventure trail on the Weißach in the Tegernsee Valley. Here families can expect a day full of exciting stations, varied games and breathtaking natural sites.

The Nature Spectacle Kreuth is an adventure trail on the Weißach for families, which brings the unique landscape conservation area of the Weißach floodplains closer to all those interested through fun and games. The area is home to a wide variety of species and provides a tranquil habitat for plants and animals. Since 1953 it has been a protected landscape area and the destination of many cyclists and hikers. The mascot of the community of Kreuth - the young chamois Kreuthi - accompanies visitors along the adventure trail and welcomes children at each of the 20 exciting stations. Among other things, families can expect a water and climbing playground and numerous recreation areas. The starting point is in the center of Kreuth. From there, the Weißachauen nature trail leads in the direction of Rottach-Egern to Brunnbichl, the starting point of the Kreuth Nature Show adventure trail. The path stretches along the river to the Pförner Bridge. The instructive path invites to many interesting topics, related to nature. In addition, this adventure trail is accessible and can therefore also be walked with a stroller. At the end point of the natural spectacle of Kreuth, there are places to stop for refreshments, such as the Siebenhütten or the ducal fish farm, where families can fortify themselves after this beautiful and exciting hike.
