The Red Puddle is a small stream and pond nestled in a moorland landscape surrounded by spruce and pine forests. The area was formerly a center of peat extraction, which ceased in 1972. Traces of the old peat railway, which connected the moor to the spa center, are still visible today. Today, the moor is a protected refuge for numerous plant and animal species. The area can be easily explored on well-marked trails. Interpretive panels provide information about the unique flora and fauna, as well as the historical use of the moor.

A hall church with a three-sided east end, the core of which dates back to the 14th century, rebuilt in 1850. The turret features a slated spire. Inside, there's a trumpeting angel and a seated figure of Christ or John the Baptist, although these were set aside due to woodworm infestation.

For inexperienced riders, the right path is very difficult to ride. It takes a lot of strength to steer your bike along it.
