    From the ranger's hiking diary: "In elementary school, we once hiked from Hohenwestedt to Boxberg. Except for the death-defying swing rope over the deep sand pit - does anyone still remember that?! - I found it really annoying back then. Since then, Boxberg has crept back into my heart. It is a beautiful, particularly scenic, and species-rich place for quiet moments and impressive nature observations."

    Author’s recommendation

    The Boxberg presents various habitats in a compact area and thus great biodiversity. Definitely take binoculars with you!

    Try your hand at observing and identifying. The best way is to use identification apps like Flora Incognita, iNaturalist, or Obsidentify, so that science can also benefit from your sightings.

    Roadbook

    The good thing is that you hardly encounter any paved roads or tram tracks underfoot. The downside is that the Boxberg route is not barrier-free and unsuitable for strollers. This is due to occasionally narrow paths, many aboveground tree roots, and often eroded sandy trails. So you are truly out in nature.

    Dogs will enjoy it, especially as they must remain on a leash.

    Please don't even try it with bicycles or on horseback.
