Although no orchids bloomed in August, the Märchenwald trail over narrow planks through the moor is well worth the effort to make the 5km loop between lookout tower in the lake and hiking car park. Not recommended for bicycles, strollers and when wet due to the designated wooden planks.

Beautiful path with information boards about the orchids growing here, but some of the wooden planks are no longer in good condition.
