Tips

December 24, 2022

There are quite a few sofas "In den Brand". However, this one is a special one. You will find it at the back of the area, not far from the border with the military domain, on top of a tough sand dune top that you can climb or, as the only one in the area, can also be reached with a staircase. Ideal to recover and enjoy the view.

In the past, this area consisted of open heathlands and drifting sand dunes. Conifers were planted partly to protect themselves from the sand and to have firewood available. This explains the name of the area. Oak groves were also planted for this purpose between 1850 and 1900. The area includes unique inland dunes and has a varied landscape of high dunes, deciduous forests and coniferous forests. It owes its name to the fact that firewood was collected there.
