Tips for this tour

This route is great for runners who want to give trail running a try. The first few kilometers through the moor are flat, so it’s easy to get into a rhythm. Then the terrain becomes undulating, but it remains easy to run on throughout.

If you feel like pushing yourself along the route, run down to the Salz und Moor Museum and tackle the 188 steps at a brisk pace!
