Worth seeing along the route: Sky ladder - the 20 m high viewing platform promises a great view over the beautiful moorland landscape. The footbridge leads visitors on wooden posts a little way into the moor, where you can discover the fascinating flora and fauna particularly well. You can get up close and personal with the moor in the moor treading pool - it's said to work wonders for tired feet...
Sturdy footwear
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.
