From the Leinmühle it goes back, first again in the Leintal and through the Reichenbachtal to the Reichenbachstausee. After the Reichenbach reservoir, nature trails continue uphill along the Reichenbach to a …

The highlight is certainly the section down from Hafental into the unspoiled valley in front of Reichenbachsee, …

I took a wrong turn there, but instead of turning around I went cross country through the forest along the Reichenbach towards Leinhäusle. Very beautiful nature there including a few “adventurous” stream crossings. Shortly before the Leinmühle, this time we took …
