The route continues over the Eisenkaute. The next stop is the ‘Hohensayn’ ostrich farm near Lautzenbrücken. If the weather is good, you can take a break here in the SchönwetterCafe and enjoy homemade specialities such as cakes, waffles and freshly baked bread.
After your break, the trail continues towards Kirburg and back to Bad Marienberg Wildlife Park.
Back at the wildlife park, you can enjoy a relaxing end to your hike. This hike combines nature experience and culinary delights and is an ideal day trip.
Particularly in autumn, it is important to be aware that leaves lying on the ground can hide uneven surfaces, roots, stones or holes in the path.
This type of path impairment is to be expected on every hike.
Wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing that is suitable for the weather and protects you from the cold and wet or the heat and sun.
After the hike, visit the wildlife park, climbing forest or falconry.
The ‘Hiking trails in the Westerwald’ map of the Bad Marienberg, Rennerod and Westerburg regions is available from the tourist information centre at a price of €5.95.
