First of all, there is a really great rest area with a small lookout tower. Then you can watch the stork's nest, which was already occupied today. There is also the option of using the parking lot in front of the bridge as the start of the hiking tour. However, it does not go any further close to nature, but rather along the road.

In 2002, the city of Olfen launched the Stever River grazing concept with a clear goal in mind: to create a landscape shaped and managed solely by the life cycle and feeding habits of semi-wild animals. To this end, the agricultural land was abandoned, the banks of the Stever River were removed, and a long fence was erected. Konik horses and Heck cattle found their home in the Stever River. Poitou donkeys were later added. These very animals were allowed to transform the Stever River landscape into a near-natural floodplain, free from human intervention, and pave the way for nature to flourish completely independently. Kingfishers, storks, and other animal species have thus found their way to Olfen over the past 20 years.
