    Hiking

    Comfortable, natural path, like a dam. Suitable for families.

    The ditch was a factory ditch that supplied a weaving mill on the Hohemark with water and powered its turbine. This weaving mill was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century due to too much competition.

    Cycling

    These waterless ditches, created by the Celts as escape routes, branch out and run double or triple, with larger or smaller gaps, into the forest. Some of them are still very steep, 1-2 meters deep or more.
    Sometimes you notice a bulge of earth against the path to protect it even more.
