A rainwater retention basin in the Hengstbach also offers water-loving animals a home. In the summer, however, it is very dry here.

Insider tip with children - who don't feel like going out - the stream and the forest there always draws ... And you're right back at the car - the main thing is that you've been out a little ... Is such a small forest adventure place ... 🤗

Very nice path right on the water, in places you can also go into the stream, but I wouldn't do it personally.
