A joker has installed an old telephone at the emergency vehicle access point! We found it amusing 🤣 - but hopefully, in an emergency, no one will be so overwhelmed by the situation that they actually pick up the phone 😱

Wild garlic as far as the eye can see. But be careful: in nature reserves, special regulations apply to wild garlic, which you should inquire about. You can usually take a handful of leaves for your own use. That way, you can look forward to your next walk or next spring, right?

Beautiful quiet valley! Especially in autumn and winter you can enjoy the silence here!

It's simply indescribably beautiful there. You have to be there. It's also good to go when the temperature is higher as it's mostly shady. What I noticed is that there are great, clean and well-maintained benches every 150 metres or so. So you can take a little break and enjoy nature.
