River hike along the ÖrtzeMunster is mostly associated with the military – the town is located on the largest military training area in Europe. But "civilian" hikers can also enjoy themselves: A circular trail opens up the partly rustic Örtze Valley with a tributary, an old watermill, and the associated mill pond. The path mostly goes through forest, occasionally through heathland and the charming town of Munster with the St. Urbani Church.

Erst Ende des 19.Jh. entstand durch großflächige Aufforstungen von Heideflächen der Staatsforst Oerrel, Teil der heutigen Niedersächsischen Landesforsten Oerrel. Der Zapfenweg erschließt diese in Oerrel konzentrierte Forst-Kompetenz. An entsprechenden Stellen des Zapfenweges werden die Aufgaben der Forst, die Technik der Zapfengewinnung oder auch die Baumarten und Biotyparten anschaulich dargestellt. Der Weg führt durch die ausgedehnte Waldlandschaft mit Laub- und Nadelwäldern, durch typische Heidelandschaften, vorbei am "Silbersee", durch Moorflächen und in das Naturschutzgebiet "Tal der Kleinen Örtze".
