Beautiful forest section along Hoherdamm with a forest playground (🅿️ right next to the playground), lovingly named paths with wooden signs..... Here children (and adults too) can be active at various stations. There is also a bird watching hut located on Grabauer See.

From the mill you can enjoy a great view over the lake. Between the mill and the neighboring house is a place where you can get relatively close to the lake.

On the last tour you could watch the swans eating! That was interesting. It's good that we had our telescope with us.
