There is a small rest area in the drainage area of the Kohlbach section. A calming and inspiring place at any time.

There is not much left of the original tree. But what can still be seen stimulates the hiker's imagination.

From the "Bettelbank" hiking car park, you can go on wonderful (circular) hikes in the Kohlbach forest, which can include the Kohlbach spring and cottage, among other things. Every season has its own special charm here.
