Loop
The soil path leads through the island-like preserved forest area of the Hürtgenwald "Todtenbruch" and through ecologically valuable high moor areas. On the basis of six soil profiles in the forest and in the grounded raised bog, it is possible to get an insight into the structure of the soil as well as the importance of the soil as a habitat and plant location. The signposted nature trail leads through the forest area Todtenbruch, in which various forest soils are presented on the basis of profile pits and information boards. In the raised bog area it is possible to look at the structure of raised bogs, which are mostly overgrown by drainage measures in the 19th century. The Geological Service of North Rhine-Westphalia and the State Forestry Office Hürtgenwald have set up the regularly maintained nature trail.
