Accessible on foot or by bike. The entire StilleKern is certainly worth admiring. There are cows, bulls, and horses roaming freely. Lots of manure on the bike paths!

Cycling to this Highlight is not allowed, but it is worth getting off and taking a look on foot.

Park your bicycle at the bench if you are not afraid of someone taking it (there should be a bicycle rack!) Turn right and go to the path on the left that eventually leads through a bush to the bird hide at the foot of the Naardermeer
