Hike along the "Schlauen Ux"

There are stations on the theme of animals, nature and the forest along a route of around four kilometers. All hard-working hikers can be rewarded with a stamp. Starting numbers for the family hiking day can be purchased on site for €1 . The appropriate stamp cards with the route are available to take away at the starting point. NEW: The hiking experience is also available digitally via the "natura jenensis" app.

At the finish, all participants will receive a certificate as a real hiking prince or princess and small prizes sponsored by the event organizers.

Bratwurst/grilled cheese and drinks will be provided.

Family festival on the Schottplatz

At the same time, a family festival will once again take place around the Schottplatz from 10:00 a.m. this year. In addition to a straw bale bouncy castle, beekeepers and stonemasons, visitors can look forward to other craft and activity offers. The new nature experience center forum natura, which will be a venue for nature and environmental education and education for sustainable development, will also open its doors.

For all those who would like to get to the Schottplatz in a relaxed manner, the Tschu-Tschu-Bahn runs every hour from 9:30 a.m. from the Langetal terminus.
