This route leads through Darmstadt's Oberfeld, one of the last large contiguous agricultural landscapes on the outskirts of the city, which serves as an important cold-air production area and local recreation area. The walk starts at the Löwentor.
The route is largely flat along well-maintained field and farm tracks that run through the entire area. A particular highlight is the Oberfeld farm estate, a model organic farm with a farm shop and café. Skylarks and kestrels can be observed in the wide meadows and fields, while deer and hares can often be seen in the neighbouring hedgerows.
