We start at the Haus des Gastes in Elkeringhausen and walk along the lake toward the southwest until, shortly after passing the last houses, we turn right into the forest. From there, the trail leads uphill through the grounds of the St. Bonifatius Educational Center and continues through sparse woods and along the edge of the forest. Benches and scenic views invite us to stop and rest every now and then. After leaving the forest, we turn right and walk a short distance along the road, then follow the paved path downhill back to our starting point.
Sturdy footwear.
Take your time and enjoy it.
