The "landscape balcony" offers a view of the Hoher Hagen, the Bastenberg and the Sternrodt.A few hundred meters further on at the second station " Seeing Heid, Understanding Heid", you find yourself in the middle of the Hochheide and see juniper bushes, blueberries, pine trees, individual heather plants, a carpet of heather, grasses and mosses. (Station two)You can recognize the"Musica natura" station from afar by the clefs on the path. At this stele, you can hear sounds such as gusts of wind in the spruce trees at the edge of the forest and across the Heid, bird calls and the buzzing of bees in summer. (Station three)Station four deals with the "meaning of everything". It is located in a sheltered spot characterized by an ancient spruce tree and a cross. This is the place for contemplation.From the plaque at the edge of the path, the view falls on the individual, wildly shaped pine trees, tousled by storms and snow.
