The route is part of hiking trail 44 (Hemingway Trail) and is part of the Beaver Trail circular route in the Hürtgen Forest. The start is at the "Glockenofen" car park in Großhau. Accessibility: unlike the circular trail, this section is paved and barrier-free, making it suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. However, there is a slope on the way there and a gradient of more than 6% in places on the way back. If you are lucky enough to see a beaver on the hike, do not disturb it. Please keep your dog on a lead. Please do not damage the beaver structure.
