At one point a wooden bridge leads over the waters of the moor, then you walk along a narrow headland. Beautiful nature and a wonderful path.

Benches and a table – that's often all you need to take a long break in the middle of nature. With a fantastic view, you can eat your snacks in peace and quiet.
