Six information boards provide information about the fun hobby of geocaching along a three-kilometre route. The environmentally friendly aspects of geocaching are also addressed. In addition, there are six geocaches along the trail, which provide initial practical experience.
The geocaching educational trail was created by the Geocaching Paderborner Land association in collaboration with the Paderborn City Department of Environmental Protection and Green Spaces and the city forester. All geocaches were agreed with those responsible and placed or installed with their consent. Since 2024, the nature trail has been managed by Paderborn Tourist Information.

Directions
It is best to walk the nature trail in a clockwise direction. This means that our caching hike - like the Old Pilgrims' Trail - first leads along behind the Bistro Waldklang and then up the slope on a fairly wide forest path. The - mostly dry - bed of the Ellerbach stream can initially be seen on the left. Our first geocache, "The Bridge", is also located in this area. At the end of the path, we turn right and follow the path for around 450 meters. The next geocache, "Der Alte Pilgerweg", is located on this section of the path.
Turn right again, keep straight ahead at the crossroads and walk towards Haxtergrund. We head for the caches "Die Bank" and "Die Fledermaus".
At the bottom of the asphalted valley path, we turn right. After picking up the last of the five geocaches on the nature trail "Der Infostand" we reach our starting point again shortly afterwards.
