Small cemetery of the "von Möller" family; interesting to see who chose to be buried here, even though they died elsewhere...

Several signs warn of wolves, but so far we've never encountered one on our hikes. Perhaps we should try a night hike sometime...

On weekends, you can enjoy a nice slice of cake with your children, feed the animals, or play in the straw. But even as a leisurely break, you can quickly charge your e-bike or refuel.

I'm not sure if the sign is allowed. I think it will irritate the citizens.
