The former mill stream is about 2.5 km long and runs from the Hungarian border near the Sonnentherme Lutzmannsburg-Frankenau to the brick kiln bridge at the upper entrance of Lutzmannsburg. Once it had great economic importance, after all, its water served four loden mills as a drive.
Now a unique nature tourism highlight has been created along the old mill stream:
The nature experience trail „Alter Mühlbach“ is integrated into the existing network of footpaths and cycle paths as a 6.5 km long circular trail and offers insights into the nature, culture, way of life and identity of Lutzmannsburg and the entire region. With twelve experience stations focusing on water, sun, wine & cultural landscape, the nature experience trail invites visitors to play and experience as well as relax and enjoy nature.
For better orientation, places and stations as well as all boards and information signs were designed in a uniform appearance. This is based on three central themes: WATER (invigorating / blue), SUN (experience / yellow) and WINE (enjoy / red). These are at the same time also the three pillars that characterize the entire life, (rural) economy & tourism and culture in Lutzmannsburg and which are now to be linked even more closely by the nature experience project at the „Alter Mühlbach“ and will be found in a new joint appearance in the future.
ADVENTURE EXCURSION AND LOCAL RECREATION DESTINATION IN ONE
The nature experience trail „Alter Mühlbach“ is suitable for families with (small) children and older people as well as for running enthusiasts and sporty hikers. The varied trail has been gently integrated into nature and leads on partly newly constructed, easily accessible and barrier-free gravel and asphalt paths both along the Mühlbach and the Rabnitz and through the diverse cultural landscape of Lutzmannsburg with vineyards, fruit trees, cereals and field crops, wild herbs and meadows.
WATER, PLAY & FUN
From now on, guided adventure afternoons at the nature adventure trail „Alter Mühlbach“ can be booked for children and teenagers!
