Short description:
The Stelzhamer-Trail is an absolute highlight for families with chilldren. Apart from the lovingly designed "Gnome`s Forest", there are also many animals to discover, such as at Archehof (Arkfarm) Gruber and on a small detour to Starzhofer organic farm, where you can also enjoy some refreshments in the farm shop.

Description:
You leave town through Pfarrwald Forest, then along the agricultural road, past the 1000 Guilder-Pillar. You`ll hike along an idyllic forest trail and up the valley to "Stelzmaner-Spring", dedicated to dialect poet Franz Stelzhamer for his 60th birthday. From here, things get "fabulous", many lovingly designed "gnomes" and other creatures along the way stir not only children`s fantasy.  After a stretch uphill you`ll get to "Archehof Gruber", and then you`ll reach the elevation and now head for Kempbachtal with a bounce in your step. Here you`ll come upon the agricultural road, which you follow all the way to Diminger-Farm and then turn right, and from here through a small forest back down into the valley again. A narrow, romantic steep path will take you to the forest prayer site, here you`ll cross the Kneipp Trail and hike uphill again, then a meadow path on the left will lead you into the forest, from here it`s downhill again all the way to Bründl by the Kneipp trail. You can return to the village via the bath houses.

Tip:
This circular trail is THE family hiking trail in Bad Kreuzen. There are so many great things to discover for children, but with aa distance of almost 7 km it is more suited for older children. In order to also enjoy it with smaller children, I recommend hiking to the 2nd Gnome-Station, after about 1.5 km ( it is located below Gruber Archfarm) and then simply hike back along the same way again. In the near future there will also be a dedicated children`s circuit, which will start from the top and be some 3 km long. A small detour I would highly recommend along the circular trail: when you get to the elevation at Prinz farm, follow the detour arrow in direction of Starzhofer organic farm, the farm shop is a true "gem" and is open 7 days a week. Here you`ll get organic treats made right on the farm to eighter enjoy right away or take back home with you! My tip: keep an eye out for our "trees of life", there are 2 to discover on this circuit!
