A nice and easy tour - except for the wet wooden planks on the moor nature trail. 😅 They were extremely slippery in the weather. We saw the sign saying that you shouldn't enter when it is wet, a little too late. 😂
In the summer we will definitely do the tour again.

A nice hike. We took a look at the concentration camp in Esterwegen, which was used from 1933 to 1936 for around 2000 "protective prisoners". We were very impressed by that and it was very close to us. I can only recommend the visit to everyone.
