"From grass to milk" is the name of this station on the milk adventure trail near the Diemel spring. So you learn here how milk is made from grass and then you can give a little cowbell concert.

Beautiful, short round to Kahler Pön. We hope that the blueberries are already ripe. They are still a little angry and very small.
