LÄNGENFELD/AU -> Winklen -> Puzzle Trail Winkelberg -> Winkelberg Lake -> Winklen -> LÄNGENFELD/AU

From the parking lot in Winklen/Au near Längenfeld, follow the road towards Winklen until you reach the signpost for the Puzzle Trail.
The path initially leads through meadows but soon enters dense forest where towering granite boulders are scattered.
Although the massive rockfall happened 10,000 years ago, its traces are still clearly visible today. Along the entire path, the geology is explained in a child-friendly way.
A walkable witch's house is not missing in the "fairy tale forest."
Directly at the lake, a natural water playground awaits that awakens the playful spirit in young and old. The descent leads back to Winklen via the forest road or a forest path.
