Schwickershausen reservoir family hiking route - Grabfeld

The starting point is reached by turning right into Alte Weinstrasse at the first intersection coming from Rentwertshausen, after about 100 m. Free parking is available here. From here, the asphalted hiking trail leads to the next intersection and then turns right. After another approx. 200 m, it turns right again and runs directly downhill to the reservoir. It should be noted that the hiking trail crosses the main road between Nordheim and Schwickershausen, so watch for traffic. The path continues by always staying on the right until you reach just before Berkach. Here it practically continues to the right behind the reservoir. On the way to the reservoir, there is a bench and a shelter.

On arrival at the reservoir, you can take a good break and picnic at the covered rest areas.

The path from the reservoir to the Schwickershausen bus stop runs over a slab path, which is however easy to walk on.

From the bus stop, after about 100 m go right via a field path or along the main road and turn right again at the intersection to return to the starting point at the sports field.

Be careful of crossing road traffic. Sections of the path are part of the municipal cycle network, so attention should be paid to cyclists. When crossing the main road to the reservoir, watch for traffic.
