It's not exactly pretty, the new bridge… but of course helpful, and good that it exists at all

The path where the marker is located is actually one of the wider paths in this part of the Barker Heide. (The photos also show the surrounding paths.)

Beautiful trail towards Winser Tannen - first under large trees, then over stone slabs into the forest.

The Wittenborn Heath was a military training area for a long time, so the area was never used intensively for agriculture until 2009. As a result, the soil remained largely nutrient-poor and is now covered with beautiful heathland.
