The path leads directly past the Schwalm and various lakes, all of this away from traffic. A varied landscape (lakes, rivers, moors, forests, wetlands) ensures entertainment.

On the opposite side of the path from the observation tower, you'll find (at the time of writing) two information boards. They, like part of the path that leads you there and the surrounding nature, are surrounded by juniper bushes.
