From the nature park center, a roughly 300-meter-long path leads to the start of the circular route. The first part of the route deals with the formation of the moors. Upon reaching the Prügelsteg, you get an overview of the animal and plant species of this ecosystem. Following the forest road southwards, in case of a cloudburst, you arrive at the shelter hut, where you can look over the bird protection area "Winklauerteich." After this halfway point, the route leads back north through the high forest; the following information boards present topics like moor protection and climate relevance.
