Trail description

The Sielmann Foundation circuit around the fenced core zone of the Döberitzer Heide, a heath and woodland nature reserve west of Berlin, starting at the nature centre near Elstal. About 22 km on sandy tracks with rest areas and a lookout tower on the way. There is little shade or water, so take enough to drink, and keep to the marked paths. The heath is a former military training area with old munitions in the ground, so never leave the marked paths.
