Hiking Naturpark Thal

Hiking the Jura landscape of the Thal region is simply a pleasure. Experience nature and landscape in peace and quiet, and breath in the fresh air. The Naturpark Thal offers a wonderful mix of small and cozy villages, cultivated fields and pastures, and plenty of almost untouched wilderness.

We recommend a variety of theme trails and hiking routes for every occasion and fitness level. They will take you to the most beautiful places in the park!

Please show conisderation for each other and the natural environment 
The natural wilderness of Naturpark Thal is a recreational space that we share with the plants and animals which live there. The less we disturb their habitats, the better. Therefore, we ask you to follow some basic rules during your excursion:

  • Stay on the marked paths
  • Keep dogs on a leash
  • Take your waste back with you
  • Leave plants and flowers by the wayside
  • Light fires only at designated fireplaces

We offer you a selection of hiking trails with descriptions in English. For more hiking routes please visit our German-language website.
