The route leads through the Teutoburg Forest and impressively demonstrates the importance of deadwood. Mossy trunks, lying branches and decaying giant trees provide a habitat for fungi, lichens and countless insects. Beetle species, birds and small mammals in particular benefit from this natural cycle. The hike takes us from the Barenbergweg along varied forest paths and opens up breathtaking views as far as the Johannisegge with the Luisenturm and Ravensberg Castle. On a clear day, you can enjoy sweeping views over the Wiehengebirge and Münsterland.
