In the Fürstenbusch it can sometimes be a bit slippery. The wonderfully beautiful hike is nevertheless highly recommended.

The Kommiezenpad consists of four different loops near Winterswijk. You can hike or cycle through the border region and learn all about the area's nature and history. In the past, this area was primarily used for smuggling illegal products across the border, and the trails follow the old smuggling routes. Border stone 788, known as the "St. Vitus Stone," marks the point where the municipalities of Winterswijk (Netherlands), Südlohn, Vreden, and historically also Stadtlohn (Germany) meet.
