We start at the Haus des Gastes in Elkeringhausen and walk along the lake in a south-westerly direction until we turn right into the forest shortly after the last houses. From there, we walk uphill through the grounds of the St. Bonifatius educational center and continue through sparse forests and along the edge of the forest. Again and again, benches and a landscape frame invite you to linger. After leaving the forest, we turn right along the road for a short distance and then follow the asphalt path downhill back to the starting point of the tour.
Sturdy shoes.
Take your time and enjoy.
