- 4.5 (44)·Moderate·5.9 mi·Est. 2–2.5 hrThis loop starts at the Grenzweg hiking car park and leads deep into the protected Brackvenn. Along the trails, 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.
