The nature path leads via the Poetensteig pathway through the forests of the Pritzhagen mountains, past the “Teufelsstein” and “Großer Stein” boulders to the Dachsberg. The hike then passes through the Wolfsschlucht Gorge, to the Pritzhagen Mill into the idyllic Stobbertal Valley to the Julianenhof Bat Museum. The Natura Trails launched by Naturefriends are cycle routes and hiking trails that open up the region’s many natural treasures to visitors so that they can experience them fully. Themed information panels draw attention to special features. In order to minimise the burden on the habitats of the flora and fauna, the Natura Trails follow paths that have already been identified.
