The moderately difficult hike can be done with an all-terrain baby carriage. Highlights of the tour are the Wennepfad, the Esmecke-Stausee reservoir with kiosk, the Teufelstanne, the Erdenklangstraße and the Eibel with game reserve, pit-pat facility and playground.

(Pit-pat is a combination of mini-golf and billiards. The game is played with billiard sticks on waist-high tables, on which obstacles have to be overcome and the ball has to be pocketed).
