attention - Zell am Harmersbach

Let the fun begin –
with Hanna as your
guide!
To help you really enjoy your adventure at
Zeller Bachsteig, here are my important tips:
H
• Zeller Bachsteig is divided into sections
with different levels of difficulty:
ello! – I‘m Hanna and I look after the Zeller
Bachsteig. My parents are the world famous
„Rooster and Hen“ which feature on our attractive
local ceramics.
I really enjoy the „refreshing“ feeling of being able
to show visitors around our town from the unusual
stream perspective. You will be surprised at what
awaits you here – exciting activities to participate
in and lots of new information to think about.
Visitors who have a KONUS card are
able to travel on the little Zeller train
for free from Fürstenberger Hof (Birach
stop 200 m) back into the town.
Section 1 (c. 50 mins in the water)
suitable for adventurers aged 9 and over
2 Section 2 (c. 30 mins. on the footpath)
runs over land away from the water
to conserve the natural environment
3 Section 3 (c. 30 mins. in the water)
is ideal for children aged 6 or over

• Each section can be „experienced“ separately
Covering a total of 1.6 km – in the stream and
alongside it – the Zeller Bachsteig runs through
the middle of the old town all the way to the
Heimatmuseum (local history museum)
Fürstenberger Hof.

• A walking stick is helpful and provides
support crossing stony areas.
