The ideal destination for cyclists, hikers and nature lovers. The adventure trail near Uplengen was completed at the end of 2008. This circular hiking trail with a lookout tower and a replica of an ancient plank path that led through the moor thousands of years ago gives visitors an idea of how the impassable moor was crossed back then. You can also take a break in the middle of the untouched nature or learn information about the flora and fauna from several information boards set up there. The trail is 1.6 km long. There is enough parking space.

The lookout is visibly showing its age and needs maintenance but is still stable and the all-round view is very good
