The first nature reserve you walk into is "Resterheide". To reach it, you first go through a bit of forest and then 500 m of asphalt, over the bridge of the N74 and a bit further into the forest. 2 km through the forest and then another stretch along meadows.

The connection to the next nature reserve "Katershoeve" is via a quiet street 'Bungalowpark'. After a kilometer, you go under the N74 this time.

Another 500 m further, you step into the beautiful nature reserve. In the end, you sometimes go over narrow forest paths.

Rest bench(es): among others at 1.7/3.6/5.1/5.8 and 7.1 km.
