The route leads through a varied landscape in which orchards, near-natural valleys and fish-rich ponds create a harmonious picture. In Häger, we pass orchards and hedges that provide shelter and food for numerous bird species. We then cross the open Siektäler valleys - box-shaped valleys with steep embankments that were once used for grazing and are now valuable biotopes for insects and amphibians. A highlight of the tour are the fish ponds, where various dragonfly species can be observed. Finally, the trail leads through an impressive beech forest before the panorama of the Teutoburg Forest opens up.
