Nordic walking route for experienced walkers and hikers

A varied circular route on excellent forest paths with very good signage.

This route is one of a total of four designated Nordic walking rounds that start and end directly at the Haferfeld car park. The route, consistently marked with a black sign, loops twice past Neuer Teich. The signage is ideal except for one spot and the route mainly follows very good forest paths.

The path is suitable for Nordic walking, jogging, and hiking - cycling is also possible without problems.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The route can also be done as a hike with long breaks. However, there are no seating facilities along the way (except for the shelter at 5.2 km). Don't forget a picnic blanket.

Safety guidelines

Due to extremely dry summers, many trees are brittle. Be sure to stay on the paths. In some places there are stacks of wood that are also driven over. Watch out for vehicles!
