Tips

Hiking

The drinking pond in the heath is an idyllic place with beautiful surroundings, despite its small size. It is a peaceful oasis for the animals that come there to drink. However, it is wise to avoid the water for hygiene reasons. Some dogs are known to play in the water, which can make it dirty. Nevertheless, the area around the drinking pond remains worth a walk and to appreciate nature. If you are looking for a quiet place in the heath, this drinking lake is definitely worth a visit, although it is wise not to touch the water itself.

Beautiful drinking pond! When I was there the water was so high that the route could not be continued. So just walk back and cut it!
