On this path between the two ground gates, we saw several wild boars in mid-August. Both young and adult. We've been hiking for 10 years and have never encountered one before. It's not a problem per se, but you might want to be cautious during the breeding season. Just a friendly reminder...

It's a bit adventurous to walk here. Small, narrow path that seems to have been somewhat forgotten, overgrown as it appears, one can assume that no one has walked here for a long time. Nevertheless, for sure-footed hikers with suitable shoes (which can sometimes get wet and dirty), the narrow path is always clearly recognizable. And with the navigation from and with Komoot, getting lost is not an issue anyway. ☺

If you don't feel like the inclines or the road traffic to Böingsen and the Ebberg on your way towards Eisborn, the "Waldpassage Bremke - Retringen" might be an alternative. The incline is not too steep and the gravel forest path is easy to ride on a trekking bike. At the level of the last farm in the Lürbke/Bremke there is a sign that it is a dead end, but this only applies to motor vehicles. The bridge over the "Kalkofensiepen" is closed to motor vehicles with concrete obstacles. However, enough space has been left between the obstacles for hikers and cyclists. Once you have reached the barrier, you have a great view of Brockhausen. There is still one downside, the last 300 m or so from the barrier to the country road are not easy to drive due to the rather coarse gravel. If you want to go to the Sorpesee or to Eisborn, turn left onto the country road (Hüstener Straße) and follow it to the crossroads in the village of Oelinghauser Heide or to the junction to Eisborn.
