Ox Tour 2.0: Nature Experience with Auerochsen in the Auerbach Area
The Ox Tour 2.0 takes families and nature lovers into the landscape surrounding the Leonie Nature Reserve and makes the history of the former mining area tangible in a special way. The tour combines light movement, local history, and impressive nature observation into a compact discovery experience in the Amberg-Sulzbacher Land.
Between Forest Path and Wide View
The tour begins at the shooting house in Degelsdorf and features a short, easily navigable route that runs along the fenced areas of the Auerochsen enclosure. The path is about 2.6 kilometers long and is described as easy. This city tour in nature is particularly suitable for families with children and for guests who want to enjoy nature and regional culture at a leisurely pace.
A Landscape with Mining History
The area around the Leonie mine tells the story of the mining town of Auerbach and the transformation of former industrial sites into a valuable natural space. Along the way, the view opens up over Auerbach and parts of the enclosure. In summer, butterflies and open spaces shape the atmosphere, while the section through the forest provides variety and shade.
Auerochsen as Landscape Actors
The special feature of this tour is the Auerochsen, which are used as landscape caretakers and give the route its name. The interplay of animal observation, nature-oriented grazing concepts, and historical background gives the tour an authentic character. Those who are attentive along the way experience not just a hike, but a cultural enrichment with ecological added value.
On the Way with a View of Auerbach
The route offers repeated vantage points with a view over the city of Auerbach and the surrounding Jura landscape. These short panoramic moments make the tour so enticing: first, the peaceful stroll along the natural area, then the wide view over the valley and the historical traces of the place. This creates a hike that intelligently combines nature, regional history, and experiential value.
Practical Tips for the Outing
The meeting point is at the shooting house Auerbach/Degelsdorf at Pfannmühlweg 1. The location is well-suited as a starting point for a nature outing; parking is provided as per the tour description at the shooting house. The route is considered family-friendly and easy, but it remains an outdoor tour where sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are advisable.
