Another highlight is crossing the small Ilse stream. If you first cross a small bridge, you step on loose boards and tree stumps behind it to get back to solid ground over the muddy bank. Here you might come across a slowworm or other forest and stream dwellers. But be careful: it's wobbly here and one step off and you're in trouble 😅

Although the wooden pieces appear solid, they are a bit wobbly, so be careful. "The dog had no problems with this."
