Power path, Wenigzell

The tour starts in the center of the Joglland-Waldheimat region, in the flower road village of Wenigzell with its barefoot park, Nordic walking center and Joglland Oasis. Through the Joglland you walk to St. Jakob im Walde with the blooming Europapark and the new exhibition center "Kräftereich".
The power path gives us insight into those sources of power that gave rise to our universe, our earth and ultimately ourselves. It shows us the sources of power that have always given man power and still do today. At the same time, the hike along the power path is also a journey through time for us. The journey through time begins in Wenigzell with the point in time when everything began - 15 billion years ago, when the "power of the stars" formed our universe. We walk through all the stations of time and learn about the mysterious forces that have shaped man's existence since the beginning of time. Arrived in the realm of forces St. Jakob im Walde we are in the 3rd millennium A.D.. Chr. arrived. The hike ends there with the "Power of the Future", which gives us insights into the new millennium.

Following our inner strength and curiosity, we walk through 15 billion years of evolutionary history and learn at 15 stations about all those forces to which we ultimately owe our existence.

The power path is marked with yellow boards, along the way the stations also serve as orientation.
