Stone drinking fountain in Kurpark Schlangenbad

Highlight • Rest Area

Anyone who has arrived here from Bonn after all the stages of the Rheinsteig actually doesn't want to go any further and rest here. 😃😍 Although there is occasional hustle and bustle here and there above all, rest and relaxation.

Kneipp Basin at Rauenthaler Brunnen

Highlight • Rest Area

If you want to tackle the hard climb on the three-arbor heads, this is a great opportunity - provided it is filled - to cool down the leg muscles again. ;)

August 21, 2022,Auf den Spuren des Eselpfads ab Schlangenbad

The donkeys used to be used by the spa guests of Schlangenbad to ride rented donkeys to the neighboring wine village of Rauenthal - the donkeys probably knew the way home if the guests had drunk a wine or two too many. Today, on the site of the old donkey rental station, there is only a tin donkey filled with …

We discovered today's tour in hiking magazine #216 from autumn 2022.
When I (Frank) drove past Schlangenbad this morning after work, it didn't look like hiking weather. Drizzle and Fog! Luckily the rain and fog cleared, so that we could start in Schlangenbad around noon. The first part of the trail followed the Mühlenwanderweg - an approx. 11 km long …

September 1, 2024,Eselspfad beim Schlangenbad

Today we went on a lovely tour along the donkey path. The path is aptly named. It is mainly a lovely path. The last third is a bit overgrown in places, but it is still easy to get through. The Kneipp basin is well filled with fresh water. The path leads along the stream and the dogs were able to …

I was amazed how beautiful this path is. The weather was of course also great. Correspondingly many people were on the way. The Kneipp pool was very refreshing, a mountain stream can't be colder🥶
There was even a real donkey to be seen😊
Overall a nice little tour.

I've had this tour on my to-do list for a long time. I decided to do it spontaneously this morning. There aren't any particular highlights here. However, the tour takes you along many narrow trails and rustic paths. The route is also mostly shaded, which was a plus given today's temperatures.
