Camp Waldlicht

Location:
The camp is located in a quiet and flat forest clearing between Lake Reichenbach and the village of Spraitbach, but far away from residential areas. It is surrounded by majestic beech, oak, and spruce trees and is located on a meadow where, on cloudless days, you may be gently awakened by the occasional ray of sunshine in the late morning.

We will provide you with the exact location and other important information in the reservation email.

Infrastructure:
Due to its proximity to Hafental with Lake Reichenbach and the hiking trails of the Swabian Alb Association, the camp can be easily reached on foot, away from the main traffic arteries.

The camp is simply equipped so that you can devote your full attention to nature in the surrounding area.

The camp has a fire pit for romantic evenings, a woodpile for firewood, a bench and table set for relaxing, three pitches for your tent with soft wood chips as ground cover, and a compost toilet for your needs. The three pitches are relatively far apart, so everyone can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

Fire:
The wood storage area for the fire pit is located in the lockable wood box next to the compost toilet. You will receive the code for this in your reservation email. When lighting a fire, please be sure to follow our tips for handling fires. Please only use the fire pit when the forest fire warning level (WBI) has reached a maximum of level 3. From forest fire warning level 4 onwards, it is prohibited to use the fire pit. It is secured with a combination lock and must be locked again after use to prevent unauthorized use. A red warning notice will also appear on the booking website when this level is reached. Please be sure to heed this warning notice. Of course, it is also prohibited to use a fire away from the actual fire pit.

Supply:
There are several places in the surrounding area where you can stock up on supplies for your microadventure. In Hintersteinenberg, for example, Mr. Wiedmann offers regional game specialties. You can find more information at the Website. Furthermore, the HofCafè Weggenziegelhütte café, located very close to the camp, invites you to linger over the weekend. On the other side of the Leintal valley, coming from Schwäbisch Gmünd, you will find the Linkh farm shop, which offers a comprehensive range of regional products see on their Website. In Spraitbach, you can also stock up on supplies at two supermarkets if necessary. The weekly market takes place here every Friday afternoon at the town hall.

Note:
There is no water supply directly in the camp or the surrounding area. Please bring water with you from home or purchase it in nearby supermarkets, such as in Spraitbach, before you start your trekking trip. The camp is in a very quiet location. Please vacate your pitch by 1 p.m. at the latest so that the next trekking guests can also start their microadventure.

Please behave calmly and responsibly towards your surroundings during your stay. Wild animals should not be disturbed. Stay in the camp area after dusk so as not to disturb the sensitive feeding hours of the forest's animal inhabitants. Please leave electronic music players at home; they have no place in such an environment. Leave the site and the compost toilet in a clean condition. Therefore, be sure to bring garbage bags for your trekking tour.

The compost toilet works with litter. A litter bucket is provided for this purpose. Please pour a small scoop of litter into the toilet after each use. Subsequent guests will thank you for it!

Connection to other camps and public transportation:
The camp is located about 13 idyllic kilometers from the nearest trekking camp Kleinod am Hohenohl (municipality of Gschwend). This can be reached on foot through the very romantic Hafental valley. The tour can also be extended to 20 kilometers via the scenic Hagberg and the village of Gschwend.

The train station in Schwäbisch Gmünd, where regional express trains to Stuttgart or Aalen/Crailsheim depart at least hourly, is about 15 kilometers away and easily accessible on foot through the Lein and Haldenbach valleys. For those who are less ambitious, bus line 63 also connects the center of Spraitbach, about 2 km away, with the Gmünd train station hourly.

If that's not enough, there are also parking facilities for motorized vehicles at Lake Reichenbach and in Spraitbach.
