Description

Discover the secret of the Al Schmelz geotope on this short hike.

The trail, lined with rocks, gently climbs to the highest point of the region. At the top, it continues for a while along a wooded ridge before descending towards the Napoleonshutt, a solitary rock formation that resembles a headpiece.

From there, stairs lead downhill to the Al Schmelz, a geotope. The pond is the only visible remnant of the old ironworks. A QR code and an interactive station provide further insights into the site’s history.

The path then continues past the Wasserhaf and eventually opens up to a stunning view of Fischbach, where inviting benches encourage you to sit, enjoy the sun, and take in the scenery.
