The nature trail is ideal for a half-marathon trail run in unfamiliar terrain. The path is very well marked, so even those unfamiliar with the area can easily find their way while running. The surface is challenging. It passes over granite, basalt, and sandstone. In the towns, you of course run on "normal" paths and streets. I also took some viewpoints and reached 850 meters of elevation gain.

The first nature educational trail in Bohemia was opened by Rudolf Kögler in 1941 at the western edge of Bohemian Switzerland. It was then 12 km long and largely followed the geologically interesting Lusatian Overthrust. After the expulsion of the Sudeten German population (1945), this trail fell into oblivion. However, in 2006 it was reopened as a circular hiking trail of 20 km length along a similar route. In honor of Rudolf Kögler, the path is today called Köglerova naučná stezka (Kögler's Nature Trail).
