This circular route starts at the Grenzweg hiking car park and leads deep into the protected Brackvenn. Along the paths, hikers encounter so-called palsas – round depressions that are considered remnants of the last ice age and now form small biotopes. The area has a long history, with people mining peat as fuel for centuries before it was placed under strict nature conservation. Today, rare plants such as cotton grass grow here, its white fruit clusters dancing above the moor like little cotton balls in summer. It is a place of tranquillity that invites you to unwind and feel the unspoilt power of nature.
