Esternberg: Kößlbachrunde

We start in front of the municipal center of Esternberg and walk a bit along the street towards the northwest, but soon turn left again and head south. We soon meet the street again and follow it past the sewage treatment plant through the forest. After about 3 km, which we have walked along the Riedlbach valley, we reach the mouth of the Riedelbach into the Kößlbach and the "Wanklmoar Sag".

We now follow the course of the Kößlbach with its interesting vegetation until we turn left uphill in Kneiding. We leave the forest and walk through the cultural landscape to Ringlholz. From there it goes back through the forest to Esternberg.

This circular route is especially interesting for botanists and nature lovers. Rare plant worlds and natural beauties line the path.
Particularly recommendable is
a small detour downstream of the Kößlbach at the "Wankelmoar Sag" to a seven-stemmed flutter elm.
