This natural climate protection function harmonizes here with modern energy production: Since 2020, five Vestas V 126-3.3 MW wind turbines have been generating clean electricity at the “Lieger Wald Wind Farm.” In 2023, the trail was equipped with four informative signs that provide interesting facts about wind and solar energy. The trail impressively demonstrates how the energy transition is succeeding locally and how the phase-out of coal- and nuclear-powered electricity is being accelerated. Plans are already underway to expand the wind farm with additional turbines.

- Be sure to bring plenty of water; there are no places to stop for refreshments along the way
-
Especially in the fall, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can hide uneven surfaces, roots, rocks, or holes in the path.
- Comfortable casual shoes or lightweight hiking shoes/sneakers are perfectly adequate for the well-maintained trails.
- The trail is ideal for all-terrain strollers, buggies, and balance bikes.
- Since there are no places to stop for refreshments along the trail, we recommend bringing a packed lunch and plenty of drinking water.
- Clothing appropriate for the weather
This makes it easy to extend the route.
