This peaceful forest path follows the route of the former Dahlheimer Bahn railway and winds through the green surroundings of Schwalm-Nette Nature Park. As you walk among tall trees and soft moss, you can still see traces of the old railway line that once ran through this area.

The combination of history and nature makes this path special: it's both a walk through the forest and a journey back in time.
