**********

This is a round-trip op about 1.6 kilometers, which is also very suitable for children (our kids of 5 and 6 years really enjoyed it and did never protest) but it is nearly impossible to do with a buggy or wheelchair...
If you want to partially carry your mountainbike, it could be possible to do it.

Let's start at a parking facility

WP0: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(C+1)(D+5)(E-5)' E 005° (F-2)G.(H+5)(I+4)(J-2)'

From here, go to

WP1: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(C+1)(D+6)(E-1)' E 005° (F-2)G.(H+5)(I+1)(J-2)'

and continue downhill to

WP2: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(C+2)(D+2)(E-6)' E 005° (F-2)G.(H+5)(I+1)(J-5)'

Here you will find a boundary stone with a for digit year marked on it

K = Take the checksum of the year as long until there is only a one digit number left

Now continue your way to

WP3: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(C+3)(K-5)(E-9)' E 005° (F-2)G.(H+5)(K-3)J'

where you will find e panel with among other things e telephonenumber

L = Take the checksum of the telephonenumber as long until there is only a one digit number left

The trip continues to

WP4: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(C+3)(K+1)(L+7)' E 005° (F-2)G.(H+4)(K-2)(L+5)'

From this panel you must count the number of the words marked on it

M = number of the words marked on the panel

Let's go on to

WP5: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(K+2)(L+7)(M-5)' E 005° (F-2)G.(K-3)(L+4)(M-5)'

a very interestings protected area. After this you continue to

WP6: N 49° (A+3)(B-3).(K-7)L(M-5)' E 005° (F-2)G.(K-3)(L+2)(M-5)'

(If you want to see an ancient railway buffer-stop, just follow the ancient railway in direction 300° for some 500 meters. Afterwards you will of course have to come back to continue the trip.)

From here you have to follow the ancient railway in direction 120° (you will also have to cross an old railwaybridge) until

WP7: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(K+2)(L+2)(M+1)' E 005° (F-2)G.(K-2)(L+7)(M-5)'

Now downstairs right to the final

WP8 = Final: N 49° (A+2)(B+6).(K+2)(L+1)((M-2)' E 005° (F-2)G.(K-2)(L+6)(M-1)'

After having found the final, upstairs again and continue to follow the old railway and then the way beside it back to your car
