Great piece of nature...

Sit on the bench that overlooks the heathland while you have protected nature on that shore in front of you, behind your beautiful forests and perhaps close to you a marten. Oh yes, there is an information board but you have to look at it from the back for some strange reason.

This earthen wall arose hundreds of years ago in the vast heath landscape. The heath then served as a grazing area for livestock. The earthen wall probably served as a kind of demarcation in the landscape. On top of the earthen wall there was another wooden wall. This combination ensured that the cattle did not go into the forests.
The historic forest wall was actually the boundary between heathland and forest. The forest wall now fulfills a very important ecological function. Mice, martens and lizards use the shore for their shelter.
