This pond is a nice place for a little break. Surrounded by a heath and many trees, it also offers some shade in sunny weather.

The pond looks dilapidated at first glance, but with a bit of luck, you can observe newts in the water. From the end of May, there is lively activity due to tadpoles.

Quite unique in the area and rather hidden away. A little above the idyllic path, you can discover the small lake in the middle of the leisurely driveway.

Right next to the already mentioned parking lot, there is also a bus stop, perfect for arriving and departing by public transport.

The blooming heather nestles over the hilly landscape. As a contrast, there are individual trees in the heathland and at the edge a forest forms the border that encloses the area. I like that you can get different looks by turning around the body axis. That really makes you want to drive around or over the next hill. The paths are very well laid out for hiking. Cyclists have to push their bikes downhill or carry them uphill on some passages if you want to go down into the valley. There are solid and very sandy paths in the valley. Since these paths run through the landscape like a network, cyclists can always find a way to reach their destination. I won't drive down the valley when it's raining.

Right by the fairytale lake, there's a very technical uphill climb! Anyone who manages the first section over the roots without a motor has my utmost respect!
