I finally had time while driving through and was able to take a look at the small nature reserve! It is an interesting little natural area.

It is worth a visit in any season.

The reason I wasn't at the door for so long was because I sustained an injury (torn meniscus in my knee 😪).

I put it like that, if you live nearby, it's a nice walk in the forest, but nothing more. The juniper heath is relatively small and other heath landscapes offer more. For us, the journey from Düsseldorf was not really profitable.

A visit to the Drevenacker juniper heath is always something special. Sitting under the ancient oak tree and sniffing this atmosphere is pure relaxation
