The route is part of hiking trail 44 (Hemingway Trail) and is part of the beaver path in the Hürtgenwald. The start is at the "Glockenofen" car park in Großhau. Accessibility: In contrast to the circular route, this section is paved and barrier-free, so it is suitable for wheelchairs and prams. However, there is a downhill gradient on the way there and a gradient of more than 6% on the way back. If you are lucky enough to see a beaver on the hike, don't disturb it. Please keep your dog on a leash. Please do not damage the beaver construction.
