Elsberg.
From the car park you walk through the woods to go a little later through the Rheder- and Worth-Rhederheide on the way you also pass a bronze Highlander sculpture and a small pond. At the edge of the Boersbos you walk further in the direction of the Elsberg. At the parking you go back and forth to this viewpoint. Red deer, roe deer and wild boar gather here at dusk. Foxes, badgers and pine martens also come to look for food. From mid-September to mid-October, the post on the Elsberg offers a view of red deer that gather here for rutting. From the Elsberg the route goes over a traffic-calmed asphalt road along the edge of the heath back to the starting point, along the way you have beautiful views of this beautiful area.
