Some of the heights offer beautiful panoramic views. Display boards along the route provide information about the creation of the heath and juniper landscape. One of the highlights of the route is certainly the juniper heaths on Wiwelsberg.

In any case, these places haven't meant anything to me to this day, they're all a bit remote!
