The trail is marked by means of wooden posts with blue arrows and is inaccessible between 15th March and 15th June during breeding season. Dogs are not allowed.

The old land on the other side of the ring dike is an open peat marshland area, surrounded by reed, partly farmland, partly nature reserve. The ring dike offers a wonderful view of the nature reserve, Varkensland. This reserve is an Eldorado for grassland birds.

Description of particulars along the way.
These are listed in alphabetical order on the roadmap.
