The nature reserve offers a lot of variety visually. Sometimes with trees, then again open and then there are the peat extraction areas and the route of the peat railway, which you can accompany for a while.

When I was here 2 years ago, there was no sign pointing out the stones that had been collected with great effort. The imposing heap seemed almost like a megalithic tomb to me. In any case, they've put together really nice chunks here... If they all come from a local field, then respect what chunks are lying there. In any case, this is somehow a pleasant surprise and an eye-catcher right on the north path.

If you want to walk this beautiful grassy path after a rainy spell, you should either wear waterproof shoes or be prepared to hack your way through the undergrowth at one point. A bit of sand has been filled in since the North Trails came into being, but it's an adventure to walk on some days. Otherwise, just take the next route.
