The nature trail features 18 panels at various stations providing information about the landscape history, ecology, flora, and fauna of the nature reserve.

At Grabschützer Lake, nature is reclaiming the former open-cast mining area in its own way. This has created a varied landscape that provides habitat for numerous protected animal and plant species and is part of the European bird protection area (SPA). The core zone is inaccessible to avoid disturbances, but the circular trail accessible via 3 main entrances offers plenty of opportunities over 7 km for personal observations and enjoyment. Telescopes are also available at some points. In addition, the nature trail informs visitors at 18 stations about landscape history, geology, ecology, as well as flora and fauna.
