The popular barefoot adventure trail complements the range of activities, stimulating the senses and promoting a heightened awareness of the body.
Aabach-Talsperre
The Aabach Dam ("Aabach-Talsperre") southeast of Bad Wünnenberg was commissioned in 1983. With a length of almost 3 km and a maximum width of 1.5 km, the dam secures the drinking water supply for more than 250,000 residents and makes an important contribution to flood protection.
The reservoir and its unspoiled, expansive landscape offer a restful and relaxing atmosphere that attracts numerous recreational athletes to Bad Wünnenberg. Hikers, cyclists, and inline skaters are welcome on the 9 km long, paved circular trail around the Aabach Reservoir.
Nature experience
The heart of Bad Wünnenberg is the picturesque Aatal valley. It is the meeting point of numerous cycling and hiking trails and a paradise for nature and adventure lovers. “Freedom for your feet” is the motto of the over one kilometer long adventure barefoot trail. More than 20 different surfaces make Kneipp's teachings an experience for young and old alike.
The low ropes course promises balancing and climbing fun, followed by a rapid slide down the Big Sam slope slide. The bike park also provides action and adrenaline, while the wildlife enclosure with native species is a place of tranquility and wonder. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, the Aatal valley offers something for everyone.
