Anyone traveling between Wannenberg and Wasenhütte simply MUST take a moment to reflect and enjoy this biotope in peace. Ideally, you should even repeat the loop two or three times – and the different light alone makes everything shine in a new light. Always impressive – in every season... of course, the mountain bikes are pushed.

This is the Winterihau biotope, and there was a small mistake. An obsolescent oasis of peace, a natural paradise. Always push your bikes—and take your time, lots of time. Walk through it a few times, looking for and finding hidden beauties...

The Husemersee is surrounded by nature and a popular destination for hiking enthusiasts. A special highlight on the route is the picturesque wooden bridge that leads past the lake. From here you have a breathtaking view of the sparkling water. The bridge is not only a great vantage point, but also a perfect place to take a short break and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surroundings. Whether for a relaxed hike or a short detour - the Husemersee with its charming bridge is always worth a visit!

The biotope is not a trail paradise but a nature reserve. Please respect that and only visit it on foot.
