Hiking and Landscape
The Greimerath Höhenweg passes through the Ochsenwiese and Panzbruch nature reserves. Along the way, the route combines varied woodland with small-scale open-land areas, natural streams and occasional sandstone outcrops.
The trail has been certified by the German Hiking Institute as a premium trail with 65 points of interest. It runs mainly along quiet paths through the Greimerath Forest towards the Judenkopf.
The Ochsenwiese provides a habitat for whinchats, common snipe and meadow pipits, which are described as vulnerable or endangered, respectively. Taurus cattle have been present at the Ochsenwiese since 2013; they help keep the wet meadows open for rare animals and plants.
