The circular trails vary in length between five and nine kilometers. They run over large sections with slight elevation differences.
The heath landscape, unusual for the forested Siegerland, is the result of decades of use as a military training area. From 1936 to 1993, first German and then Belgian tanks circled here after the war. At the same time, and still today, environmentally friendly grazing with sheep takes place. This ensures the openness of large areas and shapes the character of the poor meadows and rough grasslands. Thus, a variety of animal and plant species can be found here that are no longer present in the more intensively managed surrounding areas.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
The area is indeed used by many hikers, but those seeking relaxation spread out over the large area. Pure tranquility is guaranteed. It is a good idea to pack a snack and a blanket in your backpack and look for a quiet spot for a picnic. The open meadows especially invite children to play.Â
