Schlaubemühle circular route

A short Circular hiking trail with spectacular views of the stream landscape of the Schlaube.

Length/Duration: 4 kilometers, approx. 1–1,5 hours
Start finish: Stairs, Schlaubemühle

Arrival / Departure:
RE 1 to Jacobsdorf, then take bus A400 to Treppeln, Schlaubemühle (April–October on weekends and public holidays)


Directions
The entrance is located between the parking lot at the former Schlaubemühle mill and the stop on the A400 excursion route. A narrow hiking trail leads between old beech trees to the stream, which flows into a pond dammed by beavers. Gnawed trunks and beaver cuts dominate the landscape, while a footprint continues above the waterline.
The stream then winds through cool lowlands and gorges up to 30 meters deep, flanked by alder trees and steep grassy cliffs. The path leads back to the Schlaubemühle mill via a meadow and a small bridge that crosses the lively Gronisch stream.
