There is a QR code on each (themed) information board, which you can use to call up the route and details of the trail. Selected information boards are equipped with an additional QR code. Exciting additional digital information is waiting to be discovered by you.
As guests in the forest, we show understanding, respect and correct behavior to ensure the use, protection and recreation of our forest.
The journey into the past begins at the Heesfelder Mühle (www.heesfelder-muehle.de), an agricultural project of the Heesfelder Mühle e.V. with an organic store, café (Café Heimatliebe, www.cafeheimatliebe.de), restored village school ... and there is a lot to see here: about historical, conventional agriculture as well as about contemporary, environmentally conscious ecological cultivation of fields and forests.
From the nature conservation center, the hike leads through the Schlechtenbach valley and later back through the Steinbach valley. You will pass many (former) farmhouses, fish ponds, meadows and meadows. Themed boards along the way provide vivid information about (historical) agriculture in the Volme region; additional digital content can be accessed via QR codes.
A great excursion, especially with children, who will love the farm atmosphere. The environmental protection projects of the Heesfelder Mühle raise awareness of ecology and resource conservation.
Special features along the way: in addition to the information boards with exciting information and some QR codes for further videos or audio tracks, you can also discover an adventure treasure chest and a panoramic picture frame along the way.
