Loop
This relaxed loop leads through the Aukrug Nature Park and explores the Boxberg, one of the region's highest points. The route follows well-maintained forest roads and sandy paths through a diverse mix of dense mixed forests and open heathlands. A major highlight is the observation tower atop the Boxberg, which, on clear days, offers expansive views across the gently rolling "Knick" landscape of Schleswig-Holstein. The trail is technically simple and, due to the minimal elevation changes, perfectly suited for families.
