The nature reserve along the Otterbachbruch is a worthwhile hiking area. Beautiful forest trails allow you to explore the natural surroundings along the wildly winding Otterbach stream.

The path from Badallee, at the end of the car park, is not recommended as it is heavily overgrown. The path after the swamp is also overgrown. From the chapel onwards, the path is beautiful.

An enchanting place. Today the chapel was open. The colorful stained glass windows shine with all their red tones. Today I was very lucky to see this play of colors.
