This restorative and forest-focused circular hike leads through the heart of the Düben Heath Nature Park (Dübener Heide), the largest continuous mixed forest area in Central Germany. The trail explores the gently rolling hills between Bad Schmiedeberg and Bad Düben, following a mixture of broad forestry roads, shaded beech avenues, and natural paths through heath and moorland. A central highlight is the soothing silence of the extensive woodlands and the numerous small forest lakes and ponds tucked away in the dense greenery.
