This loop trail is also known as the Panorama Trail. It does not go through the forest but mostly runs alongside it, always offering an unobstructed view of the open countryside; beautiful views—both near and far—can be enjoyed along almost its entire length.
A short detour of about 150 m will take you to the most beautiful viewpoint on the “Nordhelle.” The entire Dreislar area is a bird sanctuary. With a little luck, you might even spot a great grey shrike or a red-backed shrike. The ascents and descents are relatively easy to manage.
