Route description Nature park trail (Tut-gut Route 2)

The circular route leads over the raised bog, the so-called peat cut, continues over the Brunnberg to the Schlagkreuz and from there back to the starting point. In the water areas of the old peat cuts, past which the nature park hiking trail leads, and in the former drainage ditches, the extremely rare moor frog finds optimal conditions.
