A journey through time in the Wyhratal

The Wyhratal cycle route leads from the Schömbach dam past the pottery towns of Kohren-Sahlis and Frohburg and further through the beautiful village of Wyhra, which stands out with its story farm.

Not only the route, which mainly runs along forest and cycle paths, but also the discovery tips offer the perfect starting point for a lovely family outing.
