Accessible nature experience in Bad Salzuflen
Bad Salzuflen, in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park, offers a special nature experience for people with visual and mobility impairments, families with children and senior citizens.
People with mobility or visual impairments can discover the spa park and landscaped garden alone or accompanied on a level path.
The barrier-free hiking trail provides access to nature, animals and experiences that people will remember fondly.
Along the hiking trail, information boards provide information on barrier-free refreshment stops, disabled-friendly toilets, parking spaces and particularly interesting nature spots along the way.
Experience barrier-free enjoyment of nature
Watch the fallow deer, the swans at the water fountain on the Kurparksee lake or marvel at the tall plane trees and their ancient trunks. In the evenings, the sun's rays gently cast their light over nature and everything shines in a golden glow. Enjoy a carefree stay in pristine nature.
Rare aquatic plants grow on the floodplains of the Salze river and thrive on flowering shrubs that are worth protecting and provide food for busy bees.
Flexible hiking options on the barrier-free hiking trail
The barrier-free hiking trail can be divided into three circular routes.
The loop around the Kurparksee lake is 750 m long. Directly adjacent to this is the route through the shady Salzetal valley along straight paths with a trail length of 1,150 meters. The third route includes the flowing transition at the landscape garden into the natural area of the salt meadows. This circular route covers 1,350 meters.
Three varied routes in the middle of unspoilt nature
The Kurparkseeroute invites you to go on an unaccompanied excursion along wide paths. Watch the water birds on the lake or listen to the birds in the awakening nature in the morning. Incidentally, the Kurparksee is one of the oldest parts of the landscape garden. In spring, you can watch a pair of swans nesting from afar.
In the Salzetal valley, nature lovers can get to know the interesting floodplain landscapes along the course of the river, feel a wildcat model and learn interesting facts on an information board with Braille. In addition, the colorful budgerigars in the bird aviaries provide animal entertainment.
The route in the salt meadows offers unobstructed views over the meadow landscapes, small ponds and runs parallel to Extersche Straße on the former narrow-gauge railway line. The fallow deer in the enclosure and the alder swamp forest are also worth seeing on this circular route. Ideally, a person in a wheelchair should accompany you on this route.
