The forest path is nicer than the footpath running west along the houses.

In the Mastbrucht nature reserve near Dortmund, a healthy mixed forest of various deciduous and coniferous trees is maintained.

The Mastbruch-Rahmer Wald nature reserve in Dortmund is a relatively new protected area that owes its current form and significance primarily to the subsidence caused by coal mining. Nature conservation for the area was first legally enshrined in a landscape plan in 1986 and further consolidated in 1990. This landscape plan was updated in 2020. The municipality has equipped this nature reserve with easy-to-walk tarmac paths, making it possible to use it with strollers or for walks in the rain without getting into a lot of mud.
