Explore and enjoy the WasserWissensWelt on the Übelbach Water Theme Trail. Easy circular walk for families, school groups and anyone keen to discover water in a new way.

Start at the first panel, cross Hammerherrnstraße and continue straight across the meadow towards the stream. Follow the fence of the dog area westwards and continue along Hammerherrnstraße, always following the red arrows and numbered panels. After panel 9 cross the bridge and walk along the Vinzenzpromenade, or take the forest road under the motorway as an alternative. From panel 11 return on a mix of familiar and new paths to Pastner Teich and back via Hammerherrnstraße to the starting point.
