Praforst — Woods and Pond

Highlight • Forest

An idyllic place, in the summer you can sit very nicely on the terrace of the restaurant. There are many hiking and walking trails from here.

A walk around this pond, which consists of several fish ponds, is highly recommended. And let fresh healthy air flow through your lungs. Some species of waterfowl live here. There used to be a couple of swans.
