    Jägerpfad [09]

    Heimbach
    Distance:9.2 km Duration:2:34 h Difficulty:Medium

    The trail leads through an area rich in game with many traces of hunters and the hunted. The north-eastern part of the national park borders our route. For thousands of years, people subsisted as hunters and gatherers. The introduction of livestock farming and agriculture not only changed habits, but also the original landscape. The result was a cultivated landscape dominated by humans, which increasingly limited the habitat of game. We follow the hiking trail sign 09.
