The soil trail leads through the "Todtenbruch" forest area of the Hürtgen forest, which has been preserved like an island, and through ecologically valuable raised bog areas. Six soil profiles in the forest and in the earthed raised bog provide an insight into the structure of the soil and the importance of the soil as a habitat and plant habitat. The signposted nature trail leads through the Todtenbruch forest area, where various forest soils are presented by means of profile pits and information boards. In the raised bog area, the structure of raised bogs can be observed, which were largely overgrown by drainage measures in the 19th century. The Geological Service of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Hürtgenwald State Forestry Office have set up the regularly maintained nature trail.
