The streams forded by this path wind past copses and grassy patches in a serene and soothing manner. The Lost Tower is where Pokémon are laid to rest when their lives come to an end.
Route 209 is a fairly large route that curves around to make a reverse L-shape. It starts from the west, fromHearthome City, where the route makes its way east. There is a large patch oftall grass just north here, just off the path. Back on the path, the route heads east, making its way over to a series of bridges going over a running stream, in which theplayer must cross in order to reach to the other side. There will be several Trainers to battle on the way, and by going onto a bridge that travels north, then west, the player can find some loamy, soft soil to plant fourBerries.
Making its way east again, the player will find theHallowed Tower near a running stream. If the player travels north-west, they will reach aHoney Tree, which the player can slather honey on to attract wild Pokémon.
After that, the route heads directly north, with a few patches of grass around the place, some soft soil to plant two Berries, and several Trainers to battle. Further up is a steep slope,bike obstacle, for those who want to avoid thetall grass. TheLost Tower is just east from this point. It is a tall tower where dead Pokémon rest. Many Trainers come here to visit their Pokémon that have passed away. Just below theLost Tower is a tree that can be cut down to obtain an item,TM47 (Steel Wing). On the north-west side of the route is a small area that contains the itemCalcium, that can only be accessed to with a bike in fourth gear. Directly to the north of the route is the entrance toSolaceon Town.

A remix of this route’s music (Route 209) plays during the end credits ofPokémon Legends: Arceus.
Similarly, motifs used from this route's music is featured in the first of the two of the themes that play during midday in the Cobalt Coastlands in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, "Cobalt Coastlands 1-1", as well as featuring more motifs when replaced with "Cobalt Coastlands 1-2" upon "Mission 10: The Lordless Island" being completed.
The route is a part of a three-part straight line consisting ofRoute 210,Solaceon Town, and Route 209. This may be to make it easier for the player to hatch an Egg received from theDay Care.
