The paths and terrain around the Galgenteiche are well suited for a small route with children.

You start at the parking lot at the campsite. You go through the campsite and turn right at the first intersection towards the Galgenteiche. Now follow the Viehtrift path to the waterworks. Before the barrier, turn left and then reach clearing 31. After about 600 m, turn left. Then keep right of the Großer Galgenteich. Upon arrival at the Raupennest health centre, turn left and immediately left again onto the dam crest, which you follow all the way around. At the end, turn right and follow the dam underneath back. Via the Viehtrift path and campsite, return to the starting point.
