Germany's only barefoot path

... that is how it was for a long time. Happily, other places have taken up this idea and implemented it. It is really to be recommended to everyone: the barefoot path along the Nahe, open in summer no matter what the weather. This 3.5 km long nature path is not only a real adventure for the whole family. When it is walked barefoot, it is a wonderful and refreshing act of mercy for feet packed up in shoes from year to year. Try it out. Step upon grass, sand, stones, upon gravel, mud, tar or chipped bark and then cool your feet in the Nahe. You will enjoy it all immensely and will surely do it again.

The circular path encompasses a hanging footbridge made of ropes and a boat used for crossing the Nahe, which is a self-propelled ferry. There is a ford through the Nahe where one hangs from a rope (for first timers who are unsure of themselves there is a bridge) and, naturally, a large mud basin as a special treat for feet and legs. We are indeed in Bad Sobernheim where mud cures play a central role in the Felke-cure. In other words, there is lots of adventure. Of course all this can be combined with a picnic, as there are numerous beautiful places for picnicking. The departure point for the barefoot path is the "Quellen Pavilion".

Curious about this special kind of experience?

The barefoot path is open daily from May until October between the hours of 9:00 and 20:00. Dogs are not allowed.
