Right in the centre of Bad Gams, this pushchair-friendly path takes us along the Gamsbach stream to a quarry. The length of the route makes it ideal for a short outing with children.

This leisurely walk starts in the spa gardens in the centre of Bad Gams. You’ll walk past the former Kipper health hotel towards Siggerigraben. You’ll stroll through Siggerigraben, following the gently ascending path alongside the rushing Gamsbach stream, which provides welcome relief on hot summer days. The stream offers plenty of opportunities for children in particular to discover nature. The path is well-surfaced throughout and is also ideal for pushchairs. After about three kilometres, you will reach the quarry.
