16 km circular route through the Diersfordter Forest and in the Hohe Mark Nature Park on an almost flat track, mostly running through the forest. At the beginning, the Emmericher Straße must be crossed twice. The sensitive natural areas of the Große Veen are protected by fences, but the hiking trail runs directly past them.

    Eine wirklich schöne und abwechslungsreiche, leichte Wanderung. Die Pfade auf dem letzten Stück waren sehr zugewachsen, unbedingt lange Hosen tragen 😉. 5 ⭐️!

    Bin begeistert! Was für ein schöner Weg, durch schattige Wälder über schmale Pfade, über sandige Böden und über Stegen durch‘s Moor. Herrlich. Haben Grauhreiher und Echsen gesehen. Und auf halber Strecke in einem tollen Gasthaus Rast gemacht.

    Ein netter Spaziergang, insbesondere wenn man gerne etwas ins Wasser möchte. Der Weg um den See ist gut begehbar.

    Eine wirklich tolle Tour. Sehr abwechslungsreich und angenehm zu wandern. Es gibt unterwegs mehrere Möglichkeiten an festen Bänken mit Tisch zu rasten. Zur Orientierung hätte ich eine Zusatzinformation: Um an die Kreuzung zur Böckerschen Strasse zu kommen, muss man voher an der Kreuzung ( wo der Heiligen Gedenkstein ist) Richtung Schüttwich Nummer 5 rechts abbiegen. Dann kann man der Wegbeschreibung wieder gut folgen.

    Ein sehr gut ausgeschilderter Wanderweg. Der Startpunkt ist ebenfalls einfach zu finden, etwas komplizierter ist es da bei der Bärenschleuse (Google Maps hilft). Der Weg war gut in 5 Stunden zu gehen (zügiges Tempo, wenig Pause) und auch für den Hund noch geeignet. Man sollte allerdings darauf achten, dass der eigene Hund so fit ist wie man selbst und ihn nicht überfordern. Mann passiert hübsche, typisch niederrheinischen Landschaften, Deiche und Wälder. Alles ohne nennenswerte Höhenmeter. Er hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt, aber nicht so viel Spaß gemacht wie einige Traumpfade in RLP, deswegen gebe ich 4/5 Sternen.

    Der Track passt nicht mehr ganz zum tatsächlichen Weg, ist aber halb so wild, weil sich das vor Ort selbst erklärt. Das Gebiet an sich war gut besucht und schön zu durchstreifen. Der lichte Wald und das Fenn lassen angenehm den Blick schweifen. Hier zum Sonnenaufgang die Natur zu beobachten stelle ich mir sehr schön vor.

    Netter Rundweg! Wir waren ca. 1 Stunde und 45 Minuten unterwegs (Hirschkäfer- und Moorweg). Sehr ruhig (lag vielleicht am heutigen Wetter) und gut beschildert. U.a. haben wir auch Wildschweine gesehen.
