Family-friendly circular route around the Breitung lakes.
The circular route leads around the Vorderer and Hinterer Breitunger lakes. The trail initially runs parallel to a mixed forest before heading anti-clockwise along the shore of the first lake. Later, the route changes to a dirt track and follows the Werra cycle path for a section. In the last section, the trail leaves the wider route and runs as a path directly between the lakeshore and a small forest, passes a meadow with fruit trees and returns to the starting point.
