Route

To start with it winds its way through a younger woodland with some ancient beeches. This is followed by a very diversified stretch with gnarled old oaks, other imposing trees and lots of deadwood. You get profound insights into the forest structure, and, if you are lucky, perhaps also catch a glimpse of some of our forest denizens. Climbing structures along the way invite young and old walkers to show off their climbing skills.

After a short half-hour circular walk through dense forest and light glades you return to the meadow behind the Wildcat Enclosure, where benches await you for a well-deserved rest. A firepit with a barbecue and benches may be used for a family trip to the Wildcat Village on request. The path is accessible and suitable for families with prams and wheelchair users (with an accompanying person).
