Hiking

Entrance of a beautiful path around a piece of inaccessible but also very nice to see heath, fen and sand area with many conifers around it. You can see it as a small loop or combine it. There is also a small parking lot nearby. The path around the shielded piece of fen and heath is sometimes made of sand and then again of forest soil and wood pieces, such as on Finnish slopes.

The original flat heath landscape in Limburg changed its relief thoroughly when coal mining began. The coal that was brought up had to be separated from the unusable stones. For this, the coal was 'washed' and the waste was piled up. This is how the mine dumps were created. Today, the dump and its surroundings have been transformed into a nature reserve with a variety of flora and fauna.
