Along the Kinzig River, rafter pilots transported logs downstream to the Rhine and beyond. Today, the 32-kilometer Rafters&#8217; Trail (Fl\u00f6\u00dferpfad) in the Kinzig Valley commemorates this vital craft and invites hikers to experience its history firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Trail in Four Stages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rafters&#8217; Trail stretches from Lo\u00dfburg to Wolfach and is divided into four sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stage 1: Lo\u00dfburg to Alpirsbach (approx. 10 km)<\/strong><br>This stage follows the young Kinzig River through picturesque forests and meadows.

Special audio guides bring the past to life: children can listen to stories from young Michel, while adults hear the tales of the journeyman Jakob. These engaging stories were written by renowned youth author Gabriele Beyerlein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Felix Path: An Adventure for Families<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special highlight for families is the &#8220;Felixpfad.&#8221; This interactive story begins on a 200-meter stretch near the display raft above Ehlenbogen. Children help the young carpenter Felix find his lost hat through 13 story panels featuring exciting encounters and puzzles, turning the hike into an interactive adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accessibility and Connections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rafters&#8217; Trail is suitable for all hikers.
