For young explorers! Play, build, create or rhyme - experience nature with art! You too can be a little artist with nature and with its help. Numerous experience stations give you ideas for getting creative in and with nature.

In the forest, by the stream or in the middle of a small quarry, experience nature actively with all your senses, perceive your environment with new eyes and engage intensively with otherwise everyday objects.

And action! Build flying objects from leaves and let them soar down into the valley from the paragliding launch site; build a little house for dwarves and forest gnomes with natural materials or create little towers and bridges from stones in the small quarry: Information boards show and describe exactly how you can complete the various tasks. But don't worry, it's really easy! You already have everything you need: your curiosity and imagination as well as your eyes, ears and hands.

Tell, discover, relax: Sometimes the art lies in getting quiet, listening carefully and letting your thoughts run free. The artist's trail also gives you plenty of ideas for this: Tell a story about an object you find along the way; listen to the music of the forest and imitate the sound of the wind or the babbling brook.

And at the end of the walk, you can “hang out” on one of the hammocks in the spa gardens or take a souvenir photo on the “tree slingshot”.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

You can also shorten the loop and take the access path towards the Kurpark at the Düsseldorfer Hütte. The short loop is approx. 3 km long.

In the Kurpark, you can stop for refreshments at the Kuparkcafé right by the Sieg.

Safety guidelines

In the winter months, the quality of the path may be impaired due to wood clearing work on individual sections of the path. Especially in adverse weather conditions, muddy and slippery passages can occur on near-natural paths. Particularly in the fall, it is also important to note that leaves lying on the ground can hide uneven surfaces, roots, stones or holes in the path.
