This hike leads through the species-rich Cluswald to the Clus monastery church. From there, it continues on a scenic field path to the cultural center Kloster Brunshausen and then back to the starting point through the interesting wetland area "Koppelwiese".

At the beginning of the route, red deer, fallow deer, and mouflon captivate us in the mountain spa park, which borders the species-rich Cluswald. Massive beeches and oaks line our path here. A “wood library” on the nature trail provides information about the growth and use of different types of wood. Via a scenic forest edge path, the hiker soon reaches the impressive monastery church of the former Benedictine monastery Clus. The exhibition “Portal to History” in the former Kloster Brunshausen should not be missed either. The garden of the monastery courtyard impresses with its symbiosis of art and nature. The path through the interesting wetland area "Koppelwiese" then leads back to the starting point of this varied circular route.
