You can hike along here very relaxed, but you should expect mosquitoes in summer and be prepared accordingly.

While we can no longer imagine our landscape without the road network that cuts through everything, we may well ask ourselves at this point: When and for what purpose did all this come about? Why did people want and need to get from A to B at certain times? Peaceful trade is definitely preferable to warlike reasons.

One of the loveliest hiking routes in the Aukrug Nature Park is without a doubt a long walk from the Boxberg via forest huts along the ponds. The circuit combines a route over the Boxberg with the signposted hiking trail 17. You can expect an eventful hike through lively nature, sights, history and magnificent views. If you are lucky, you will encounter rare animal species such as white-tailed eagles and black storks and immerse yourself in an enchanted landscape with ponds, beautiful forests and heathland. https://www.naturpark-aukrug.com/aktiv-unterwegs/wandern/boxberg-route

The rest forest begins directly after walking between the ponds. Right at the beginning there is a small place of worship where you can rest on several benches. A sign asks you to only walk (i.e. do not push or ride bicycles). If you walk along the paths there you will pass several other, but smaller places of worship. I can only warmly recommend stopping by here.
