The Burgwald offers a unique nature experience. Beautiful forest with boggy valleys and ponds and streams. Especially the NSG are highly recommended and should be used e.g. be visited on the many hiking trails. Recommended are the extra tours Franzosenwiesen, Christenberg and Red Water.

The NSG Christenberger Talgrund in the Burgwald is worth a visit. If you open your eyes you will see a wonderful moorland and if you look closely you can also find the insect-hungry sundew.
