Hiking in the beautiful Brunsummerheide nature reserve. It is surprisingly beautiful in this traffic-free hiking area. The landscape is very hilly (we had +/- 260 meters of elevation gain) with beautiful vistas. And as the name suggests, there is a lot of heath, which must be beautiful when in bloom.

If you don't walk through the heath, you'll go through the woods. You do pass near the N300 twice, which causes some noise disturbance. It is definitely worth taking this hike.

Rest benches: among others at 1.4/3/5/6.2/10.3/15.1 and 17.1 km.

Sights: Observatory.
