After Ibergeregg, the path leads through a mosaic of bog areas, meadows, and forests with moist soils. You feel as if transported to Scandinavia.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Plan enough time to also discover the wonders of nature along the path. Taste the blueberries on the left and right during your hike when they are ripe in early August.
