Heck cattle and Exmoor horses live in the mostly open area and take care of the landscape maintenance. The Ochsentour is a beautiful circular hike with a route length of around two and a half kilometres.

Hiking

The former mining area, with its depressions created by the collapse of cavities, is now a nature reserve. Not only do numerous species of birds and wild animals live here, but following successful settlement, aurochs and Exmoor ponies can also be found here.

The nature reserve "Grubenfelder Leonie" is a non-accessible, fenced area that is divided in the middle by a path. The western part can be circled with the "Ochsentour" marker.
