Discovery trails, swimming and winter activities

The Wet Meadow Discovery Trail features around 22 stops focusing on nature and Spessart meadows. The Forest Discovery Trail offers a different experience, with 20 interactive stations. The trails differ both in their landscape themes and in the kinds of activities at each stop.
