The valley of the Merkske - the natural border with the Netherlands - serves 1900 hectares of top nature. Through the stately lanes of Wortel-Kolonie (an official silence area and declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2021) you step into the fens of the Castelreesche Heide. Visitor Center De Klapekster forms a cozy finale. Not for nothing was this hike named Hike of the Year in 2019.
