    A network of paths crossing at right angles runs through the Rülau Forest.

    They date back to the time when the forest was still used for forestry.

    But one path is even older.

    It cuts through the grid pattern of right-angled paths and leads almost in a straight line
    from the Radewiese near Schützenallee to Gülzow: the Knotensteig.


    A Steig (Low German: Stieg) originally referred to a narrow path over hills and mountains that cannot be used by vehicles. The connection between the two places bears its name because it was previously marked with knotted willow branches.

    The historic path between Schwarzenbek and Gülzow through the Rülau Forest is called Knotsteig, not Knotstieg, as the sign here proves.
