The woods in the Quellenviertel
Forests that help clear your mind.
In the Quellenviertel, you won’t have to look far if you’re in the mood for some peace and quiet.

Narrow paths wind their way through dense woods, past little streams, clearings and vantage points where you naturally slow down. Sometimes you hear nothing but the rustling of the trees; at other times, you’re accompanied by birdsong or the crunch of your footsteps on the forest floor.
Whether it’s a leisurely walk, a long cycle ride or simply a short break in the countryside – the woods in the Quellenviertel offer space to breathe deeply. No noise. No hustle and bustle. Just plenty of fresh air, unspoilt nature and that wonderful feeling of being exactly where you should be.
