Rows of trees and hedges provide shelter for badgers. This way they can easily move to the orchards at night, where they find their meal of fallen fruit, small insects and worms. The immediate proximity of a few other nature reserves ensures that many species of mammals, birds and insects can survive here.

Hiking

This path runs from the picnic bench, which can be reached by car, to Mettekoven. Along mixed hedges and meadows with old fruit varieties.
