Wooded paths around the Hedberg characterize the route of this circular hiking trail. As the trail continues, it leads down towards the Genkeltalsperre dam, which is not hiked along the direct shore path. Despite this, you are sure to catch a glimpse or two. Crossing the small district of Heed, the circular trail leads us back to the starting point.
Information
